My husband is a 2 year survivor of head and neck cancer. His been doing very well. This morning he woke up with his ear and jaw swollen(same side as neck dissection and radiation tx), nausea and vomiting and a headache. Has anyone experienced this symptom? Could it be cancer tx related or something else? Any advise would be helpful.
