I had throat cancer and went through chemo radiation clean up.just like all of u I had some lyphmnodes removed as well as saliva glands

5 years later I feel and look great but I feel disfigured. U wouldn't know I went through cancer unless I told you but the scar is mental and I know it is

I don't feel unwanted ...I just feel disfigured

Anyone have similar experiences
