Hi Vanessa, I hope by the time you read this you have resolved the problem and everything is fine. What you have described is similar to what I experienced shortly after my neck dissection. It turned out to be an infection that antibiotic cleared up right away.

By the way Hi from northeast Minnesota! smile

Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
