Hi all,

Please excuse my ignorance, (as I have had to find my own way around this cancer crap, since diagnosis...many many thanks to the OCF members, and "aussie h"!), what exactly is the laser treatment Carol?

"WZ": Oh no, don't depress me....joking of course! This swelling turned up after 14 months since the end of radio, that's why I was puzzled. My Onc/surgeon thought I may have sinusitus, and suggested I have a CT scan....I'm still a little concerned myself about the "non-enlarged cervical nodes", but what the heck, I'm still here!

Thanks Sammie for pointing back to those previous posts. After my radical neck dissection in December 2004, I had lypmhoedema next to my neck scars...a sort of huge bulbous blimpy thing! That went away, but this one on my face turned up in May this year. My Onc/surgeon was going to give me a contact through the hospital, but being the type of guy he is (very busy, well respected), I haven't heard from him. Our Cancer Council here in Sydney has given me some contacts, and I will see someone soon...when I can find space in between work (being self-employed, time is not always your own), visiting "my friend (!)" the dentist, etc.

Cheers and thanks!

Tizz
