I am try to find some information about manual lymph drainage, post salivary gland cancer. For some reason since my original surgery back in 06, I keep getting inlarged lymph nodes around the orignal incision site. I had one big one removed last fall and it showed no further cancer (Yeah!) however they keep swelling. I had the lymph drainage last week and of course now I am afraid I may be spreading the cancer. Has anyone had this therapy does it help or should it be avoided?
Signed, always a little scared!!!
