Hi - John had some swelling after treatment - no surgery- but about 10-12 weeks out suddenly had what I considered a lot of swelling in his throat area.

The radiation oncologist dismissed it as "radiation dewlap" - the build up of fluid that others have talked about due to disruptions in lymphatic fluid flows.

It was very pronounced at first - almost ballooning - and later it would be worse in the morning. Now -about 18 months on- it's pretty much disappeared.

Of course not sure that it's the same thing but I know we had a strong reaction at the time - but the doctors and nurses didn't.
