All,

I am almost 4 months post treatment (ended 3/15). Everything has been good (blood counts, scans, etc)and I feel real good with my recovery so far. But I've been noticing this swelling (not a lump) under my chin to my adams apple. Some days it not that bad, other days, it gets very noticeable. It is right in the zone where I had radiation.

My ENT did examine it (on a "not so bad" day), and said it was a side effect from the radiation. I see my radiologist on the 17th and my oncologist on the 26th. My thinking is this is a side effect too.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? Does it go away eventually? Any and all info will be appreciated.

Mike
