Neck tightness
I am stage 4a larynx cancer survivor. I have completed 5 yrs. cancer free kourney on 16th April 2018. My neck is always suffering from acute tightness otherwise life is good. Ultimately I accepted this as my normal life.

Congratulations on reaching this important milestone! Did you you seek physical therapy for the neck tightness--as there are exercises that help with this. Also, massaging neck with creams (I use rose hip oil) may be helpful.
All the best!
I also have limited range of motion and minor tightness in my neck though do not do the exercises because it doesn't really bother me.
If I knew when I was diagnosed what I much later figured out, I would have pursued an alternative route and would have had my toxic silver/mercury amalgams removed and replaced that I now believe were responsible for causing my stage 4 tongue cancer (as I had no known risk factors--had never smoked, very minimal drinking and no HPV) but I was too frightened by the MDs.
Thankfully, I refused the radiation & chemo that was urged/pressured to undergo--and have been cancer free since surgery in Sept 2016.

1 ReactionI am practising neck and shoulder exercises regularly as shown by my physical therapist without much effect, though Ihave not gave up exercises. Also I am massaging neck area regularly without any effect.
