thanks for the replies. I will try some of the things recommened. I developed some swelling in the neck on the side the lymph nodes were removed. I asked my doctor about and he said it was probably from removing the lymph, there was no place for the fluid to go and that is should get better. That was about two weeks ago. The swelling is starting to put pressure on my the underside of my tongue and throat and is making it difficult from my to talk. Has anyone experience this? Thanks,
