Hang in there @ostrengerwife! I received 35 Radiation treatments + 7 Chemo (Cisplatin) treatments for a large tumor at the left base of tongue and two cancerous lymph nodes on the right side of my neck and 2 deep in my groin area. They removed the smaller lymph node in my neck (mostly for biopsy). I also had a lot of swelling under my jaw post treatment. Neither of my Oncologists seemed worried about it, but my ENT diagnosed it as Lymphedema and sent me to a Physical Therapist - What a blessing! She taught me massage techniques for draining the Lymphatic system that I could continue at home 2-3 times a day and the neck, shoulders and upper back exercises and massages were incredibly helpful. I’m Cancer free now for 2 years + 3 months. I still do back and neck stretching daily and probably will continue to for the rest of my life. Continue trying to contact his Doctors and request a referral for a P.T. It was a huge game changer for me! Good luck!
