Hi everyone
I'm new here and want to say hi and get some advice.
I had tongue flap and a neck dissection 5 weeks ago, have radiotherapy and chemo starting next week but am panicking about having the mask on for 15 mins, just about managed the 5 mins during the CT Scan on Monday. How did you cope?
Also, how long does the face and neck numbness last?
Thanks Dee
