My husband has had chronic swelling he never had a neck dissection. The drs say its from all the radiation he goes on steroids to help with all the pressure and that helps him talk better as the swelling alos occurs in his tongue. He went through alot after he had a major bleed from the vessels near the tonsils belived to be from radiation that had exposed the vessels. So here we are dealing with all this swelling and even in his ankles. They really have no answers for us. Has anyone else experienced this and did it go away. He had his last radiation August 11th 06
