Thanks Gino - it appeared before - that's why I had the radiotherapy - but in my case the radiotherapy was unsuccessful. This shocked the doctors and us, as I was given a better than 90% chance that the radiotherapy would be a cure. I had a PET scan done 8 weeks after the finish of treatment and this showed that not only had the treatment not killed the lump underthe jaw but I have small lesions in the lungs.
