I went in for a check up and my Doc felt my neck which was swollen, he said I would have this the rest of my life. Called it Turkey wattle. Ok what I am concerned about is My lower face and neck swells so bad mostly in the morning when I wake up and I choke But lately I feel swollen glands and they hurt. I feel at times that I am suffercateing. What should I do? He also said that it swells because one of my biopsies took away one of my saliva glands and my drip??? puddles. All I can understand from the nutritionalist is to use salt and soda wash., I did not have a peg or any surgeries only the radiation. I am just confused. I lost another pound and they told me not to lose any but I can't hardly eat anything without chocking on it. I drink lots of water and coffee with alot of cream. Never liked nothing in my coffee before but now I can't drink it the way I used to. Sorry so long here but I get more answers here then my Doc. I forget when I am with him because he fusses at me. Thanks for letting me ramble. Brenda
