I had right neck lymph nodes removed and jugular vein. I have had a lot of swelling. Been three weeks and still swollen. Dr not concerned. Drained once. My concern is I start radiation in three weeks and I’m sure my neck will Went for swallow consult. Dr said you have lymphedema and hard to get rid of yourself. I’m concerned how much worse it will get with radiation.

I would have your Doctor explain every bit of the risks that go with that! knowing what my husband is dealing with right now because of Radiation. Which caused his Edema and now is in a Trach because he could not breathe. I will follow to see other pointers because it is a struggle. Much luck and prayers
