NEW TO GROUP

Hi KLWLOW.. so sorry to hear of your recent issues due to the late effects of radiation.. 

Hi and welcome to our little community. 
Good to hear your recovery has been fair. 

We have been talking about neck pain in other threads just yesterday. A proper neck pillow, heat and massage have been mentioned. How are you managing ? 
How long after RT did you have extractions? Were you given any extra prophylaxis around these? Antibiotics, vitamin e and pentoxifylline are often mentioned and some have mentioned hyperbaric treatment to avoid osteoradionecrosis 

Hi Beesuit

Thank you for your comments I do use heat and have regular massages on my neck,shoulders,back and also Lymphatic by a qualified therapist who is very good and this does help a great deal but ofcourse is very expensive.

My last radiotherapy treatment was June 2021

Hi KLWLOW. Sorry to hear of the late after effects of the radiotherapy, that's bad luck. Having no teeth now must bring it's own challenges in the eating department. Hope you are coping O.K. with that. I have limited teeth due to my jaw cancer and surgeries and have found that it took a while to get my head around eating differently but I got there in the end. I have had 2 lots of radiotherapy over time but luckily have not had any late effects.

New Here and had all the tests done. I start chemo and Radiation Monday. I will probably be asking question soon. I also just had a few teeth pulled.

Thank for sharing your experience.

Hi Hammer 

Ask anything, start your own thread, lots of support and sound advice from others who have been in the same situation....I had Chemoradio for Tonsil cancer HPV16 plus finished chemoradio June 2023.... tough treatment
