I wish I had some ideas for you Lynn, but nothing's popping up right now other than this. It may seem kooky but it can't hurt and might help.
Since I'm taking an alternative med class and focusing on alt med treatments for breast cancer (both my little dog Annie and I have it), I've discovered some alternative stuff that's been found to be effective. In particular, I'd recommend a book, "Breast Cancer: Beyond Convention" edited by Mary Tagliaferri and Debu Tripathy (physicians) and Isaac Cohen (an osteopath). It's a collection of articles. The book cover says "The world's foremost authorities on complementary and alternative medicine offer advice on healing." The list includes Dean Ornish, Susan Love, and Jon Kabat-Zinn (meditation).
I've created a visualization that I use with Annie. I have no idea if it's really done any good but she's doing better than I'd have expected. In this visualization, a fluffy white bunny named Humphrey Egbert (bought a stand-in stuffed bunny for a physical representation) lies next to her and pulls out her cancer then takes it to a factory staffed by other magic bunnies who use their magic to turn it into healthy, loving things including love, fertilizer, and magical medicine. Annie understands most of what I say to her, snuggles w/ her Humphrey Egbert stand-in and listens when I tell her the story.
Who knows if this really does any good but there's enough actual research--both empirical and anecdotal to indicate that it just might. Plus, it's fun!
In your case, I'd recommend creating a visualization of some agent (I can check to see if Humphrey Egbert is available--hee hee) that helps heal your neck and make it fun enough that you enjoy speinding time with it and smile when during it. Like I said, it can't hurt and might actually help. Smiling, in and of itself, has healing properties (release of "good" neutransmitters released and their impact on the immune system).
Take good care of yourself, lady!
