Thanks for your replies - I suspect that the lump under the chin is due to lymphodema as per your comments Paul but I will keep a close eye on it over the next few weeks.

Karen: We are also in Melbourne and have our appoint scheduled at the Royal Melbourne Hospital this month and will definitely reschedule if we see any changes.

As for the hair loss - glad to know Jen is not the only one and I agree with you Paul that the shoulder & neck pain is due to the neck dissection & carrying around a pretty big boy around!

Again - wonderful to hear your responses and it does put my mind at ease knowing that these symptoms are pretty common post-tx.
