Hi all - have searched through posts to see what the different experiences have been with radiation and one that my sister Cathy is experiencing is that her whole face has swollen (in addition to the sore mouth, raspy throat sunburned skin and now these cracked open sores on her neck).

Has anyone else experienced the swelling during treatment?
