Thanks Brian, I will make an appointment with my ENT right away to have it checked out.

On a seperate note, I remember one of the comemnts you made about the recovery from radiation treatment that for each week of radiaiton treatment, one needs a month to recover. I felt this is very true.

My Rad ended Nov 2002, I noticed last month (May) the lymphedema/swell under my chin/cheek is finally gone. But, it was since then that I felt the hardness of my neck started to get worse and my voice started to change. I am wondering if these events are related or there is something else that is developing.
