Hello everyone. My husband is now 12 weeks post radiotherapy for his hpv throat cancer and is being very brave trying to eat as much as he can and is hopeful to have his peg removed soon but he has developed lymphedema in his neck which seems to now be affecting his breathing when he sleeps, Has anyone else had this and are there any tips to help please?
