My name is Daniel Bogan and I live in Kaukauna, WI I had a neck resection and radiation. My face was swelled up for a few days and it came back to normal size. I think each case is unique in the treatment and side effects. What type of radiation is your sister scheduled to have? If they removed alot of lymph nodes that may account for the swelling in her face and neck. I think in time this will go down. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than I will answer your post.
Take Care and my best wishes to your sister, Dan
