Linda, someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but my guess is that anyone who has more than a couple of rad. tx's is going to feel the consequences for a period of time afterward. The swollen tongue is possibly one of those consequences, [ does he appear to have thrush?] At this stage, you still have to be very vigilant about everything that is going on with him- not from the standpoint of looking for more cancer- but from the standpoint of recovering from the treatment he has just gone through. This part can be nerve wracking because you both want it over, but it will still be a while yet. Hang in there. Amy in the Oz
