Hi WZ,

Question...the deep neck abscess and edema that you had...can you please tell me more about that ?...I am trying to understand what my sister is going through with her neck...it feels like it will never go away or get better. She cannot have surgery though. We asked why they couldn't drain her neck and face where she has all this pus and swelling... but, they won't, not sure maybe it's a fear of infection I guess. They said it's the tumor in the way so, it can't drain. So we wait. She was having facial massage, but, had to stop for a while. Did it Help? Not sure. She may have to do it on a regular basis. It crazy! She can't see by the end of day because she is so swollen! Any advice? Thanks and Take Care Flo XoX confused
