You pretty much described my situation. I'm 15 years post neck disection & radiation and feel very fortunate to have only the long term side effects that I do - fibrosis & cramping, some difficulty swallowing, dry mouth. My biggest challenge is chronic fatigue, although I can't directly connect that to my treatment.

@tominwpg That cancer fatigue seems to be never-ending, though is age a part of it? I always wonder. It is so hard to fight that need to rest, but the result of forced exercise for me is more strength and better sleep. I like being outside so just walking or gardening is a pleasant part of the day. If there needs to be a rest period, then listen to your body and take time to recover. It seems to be a constant battle but I see an improvement when I work at exercising. I am 14 years post surgery, radiation and chemo and the fibrosis is just starting in my neck and face. Have you found anything helpful?
