Hi Survivor,

I have a bit of lymphedema. It's like a golf ball sized lump under my chin. Just a full feeling and not painful. Worse in the mornings after sleeping.

I had two custom chin slings made while in treatment and they help but are uncomfortable to sleep in. I just deal with it as it's not too bad at all. It should resolve by about a year out.
