Hi there, I am five years out. Thank goodness no surgery but had 35 rounds of radiation and several rounds of aggressive chemotherapy. I still experience side effects and happy to say no swelling. But I have neuropathy, numb cold toes, lack of taste, and hearing /vision was affected, and teeth problems.
But things could be worse. It never goes away. Thankful for those good days.I wish you all success, patience and well wishes
You will see improvements. Takes time. Remember we went to hell and back. Take good care.
