This radiation lymphedema certainly has done a number one me and I'm in full on struggle mode. My skin around my neck and chest is so tight I have a hard time swallowing. I have been trying everything I can think of to feel better. Lymphatic drainage, physical therapy, speech therapy and nothing really seems to help much. If anyone out there has other suggestions please feel free to share with me. It would be much appreciated. I had nasalpharangeal cancer in 2021 and tongue cancer in 2024 so I had lots of radiation between those two cancers.

I see my OT for Myofascial Release Massage. It works great for me. I regain a lot of movement in my neck, my speech and swallowing improves. Do some research and see if you can find an OT or PT at your clinic. My therapy was prescribed by my surgeon and is paid by insurance.
