Neck dessection

Hi Chris, I didn't have chemo or radio but had a neck dissection/partial mandibulectomy. I'm sure there are people on here who have had one after treatment so hopefully they will be along shortly. Any specific questions, please ask. 

• Wondered if was normal to still feel some pain in neck 7 months after neck dissection. My husband thinks something’s coming back so go for a scan next week.

It’s good to get on top of these things because sometimes something is going on. I hope there isn’t but best looked at. 

Hi Chris.Over time I have had 2 neck dissections as well as ops and radiotherapy. for jaw cancer. My neck definitely feels different where I had the dissections, a bit tight and altered sensation but I did not have any pain. I hope that the scan can clarify things for your husband and hopefully it is something that is easily explained.
