Well, the tenderness was gone when I got up this morning but the left side of my neck and face were tight and swollen. The RO looked at it this morning and felt my parotid salivary gland is inflamed. The ENT agreed, put me on an antibiotic in case of bacterial infection, and told me to push liquids, massage the area, and apply warm compresses. The ENT said I could be a little dehydrated, or this could be from the radiation, or it could just be bad luck. I said it must be bad luck. Either that or I am on the advanced program to develop side effects from RT-- it has only been 3 treatments! Hope this is no indication of what is to come!
