It's not causing trouble with breathing it's been like this since operation but some days it's a little better but the last week it's been really bad he's seen numerous people this week and they just say it's post operative swelling but it's so bad his lips are massive , the physio said they can do stuff but after all radiation x just wondered how long swelling takes to go after the glossectomy and also he has had his other operation so maybe it collecting fluid for that area as well , no lymph nodes do no where to drain , they say it will find other roots out of the body but it been about 5 month now since glossectomy xx
