Mary,

Sounds very similar to what David is experiencing. Last night and this morning it is huge like a balloon. He also has a fluid sensation in his ears. His RO and Ent never mentioned Lymphatic fluids..Just stated it was swelling. Others as you see have mentioned the Lymphatic fluid. He did not have any neck disection yet.

Did your husband have any therapy for this? I will call his RO today and try and get him seen. It does increase and decrease in size. But it has seemed to be constant.

Thanks for your reponse.
