Wondering about my husband's symptoms also: He is 2 months out of Chemo & Rad. I thought all of his inflammation from the radiation had subsided. Over the last 10 days or so he has had bouts of N&V, (he has a PEG tube) and the opposite side of his neck is swelling up. (tumor site originally BOT & left side of neck). I could only get an appt. for 2 weeks from now with his ENT, but I am worried about recurrence already. Does this sound merely like more post treatment stuff or should I truly be worried? Any comments will help. Two weeks is a long time to wait to find out something....
