Petey, it would be very unsusual for two rad treatments to cause you this many issues. Keep in mind that when you lose lymphnodes, things can get backed up in the neck/jaw area as the drainage system isn't working properly. Four years out I still will get some swelling along my neck and jaw if I'm in the heat for to long.
