Hi all.
I'm 3 months from finishing my 33 sessions of radiotherapy for thyroid cancer.
Can anyone who had head and neck radiotherapy share a thought about healing of the inside of the neck please?
Basically I feel things happening inside of my neck (I had scans and nothing wrong inside at the moment so I assume healing) and would like to know if it does improve in time and what are the lasting effects of that healing process.
My neck feels tender and tight, I have tried some lymphoedema exercises but the morning after I was more swallen and in pain so had to pause that (tried 3 times and uncomfortable all 3 times after).
I don't want to leave it in case that tightness sensation stays with me forever (I hate it), but also I feel like pushing myself a bit too much is making me sick.
I have referral for lymphoedema clinic for end of Feb.
But I am scared that I'd I leave my neck without exercises it will forever feel tight and uncomfortable.
Please advise
All the best
Izzy.
