  • The time frame thay have given you is a good one based on my experience.  The issues gradually reduce until you either fail to notice them or adapt to other ways of doing things.

  • Hi Minimax

    i had a neck dissection early June and have had 30 sessions of radiotherapy, the pain on the outside of the head will dissipate after a while and I found paracetamol very good and helped a lot. Good luck

  • Thanks LenD I am a few years down the line on the neck dissection and to be honest with you they are intermittent  pains which is great as opposed to constant . All the Best Minmax
