I was diagnosed with tonsil cancer in October 2016 and had my tonsils removed following that I had chemo radiotherapy for six weeks following that I had a neck dissection in May this year Since my neck dissection in May. I have been left with rock solid neck which penetrates from underneath my jaw all the way down my neck where the scar line is all the way down to where my Adams apple was in the centre of my throat The effect of the rockhard neck feels like wood under my skin it doesn’t move and restricts my movements considerably. It’s so uncomfortable. .
I’ve tried to massage the neck as I was told it was remanence scar tissue but no matter how much I try to loosen the solid composure wont Budge. My oncologists tells me that it is unfortunately scar tissue following the neck dissection in May however other patience with you my am in touch with do not have the same problems that I am I having. If you were to press your fingers against my neck it’s totally hard and solid and won’t even press in. It’s mostly comfortable and I have difficulty sleeping and moving normally.
I wondered if anyone else can share their experience similarly to what I am having as this would really help me get my head around if there is any future improvement that is likely to take place. Many thanks Simon
