Hi y'all,

I finished chemo/rad 3 weeks ago. Last night, I was feeling around. The large tumor seems to be gones, and everything else is OK. However, I did feel what I think is an enlarged gland under my jawbone down near my ear.

So now, I'm playing the "what if" game. Here are my questions:

1. Do these glands ever swell because of the radiation?

2. What will happen if the chemo/radiation didn't work?

3. Is it possible that the radiation is still working and this might still go away?
