I am recovering from cancer treatments for tongue and lymph node cancer. Mine was a .9 centimeter size on the back of the tongue that was inoperable due to being too close to my breathing tube. I had 33 radiation treatments and 6 chemo treatments. I am 6 months in recovery and definitely getting stronger. My recent pet scan showed no suspicious activity anywhere which was a relief. I just received my first PT treatment for lymphedema. I have lymphatic drainage towards the front of neck. My physical therapist is suggesting I order a machine that will help with drainage along with exercises. Does anyone use one of these? I’m not sure if it’s necessary and whether it is covered by insurance. Thank you for this open forum. It really is so beneficial to so many of us.
