Hi,
I am writing for my sister Marcy who doesn't have a computer at home. She has tongue cancer that metastasized to the right side of her neck.
Three weeks ago she had a radical neck dissection, this was following seven weeks of radiation and 2 weeks of chemo. Since surgery she has had almost non stop pain in the lower back of her head, and extreme facial swelling.
She asked that I write a post to see if anyone else has had these symptoms after surgery. She is going back to see her surgeon again tomorrow.
Thanks so much for your help.
Michelle
