I have just signed in for the first time in several months and saw your answer to my post. I had about given up hearing from anyone regarding the lymphedema. Please email me the information as now the edema is in my chin and down my thorat. It goes down some but comes back quickly. I tried doing the exercises the PT here taught me but it does not help and I am at my wits end. I have trouble swallowing but when I go back to see my oncologist on March 17 I am sure she will tell me it will get better. She has never shown concern over my swelling but it is scary and I get to where I think I am not going to be able to swallow. Thanks for replying to the post because as I said when I did not see any repsonses I stopped coming to the site. I only came here this morning to show a freidn at work about Roger Ebert's oral cancer. Thanks for your response and please get back to me as soon as you can. I will sign back in every night from now on. I am almost 24 months cancer free as of March 13.
T2N1M0 Stage IV SSC right lower alveolar ridge with fibula free flap, Peg, trach, selective neck dissection,one node positive. No Chemo or radiation.Surgery 3/08.Cancer free for 2 years as of March 13.
Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies.
