Hello,

Hello , My Dad's radiation treatment started last week. It was 4 days. Today , I am here meeting with him. I find his face is swollen. He also started with Chemo Carbo weekly dose last week.
Can radiation cause any swelling of face? or it could be chemo which is causing it. Also, the mask which is used for radiation is very tight. I will talk to the team tomorrow ,to find out if they can change the mask, so it can fit nicely.
