I am sure I am overreacting, but I have a swelling on the right side of my neck and face that is not only swollen and hard but also does not allow me to open my mouth. I can just enough to fit small pieces of food in and that is all. I am hoping this will end soon! I have a follow-up appt. with my doc on Wed and hope I can open my mouth without pain by then...otherwise I may need to cancel. My Radiation Oncologist said this is expected due to 60 Lymphnodes being removed...but just want to know if any of you have any experiences with this.

Thank you
