I'm so sorry to hear all that you have been through since we last emailed. Happy birthday and it sounds like you had a great celebration.
As far as the lymphedema is concerned, hopefully there is someone at the hospital where you are being treated that can teach you how to do the massage techniques that will help your body to develope new paths for the lymph to be moved to the opposite side of your neck.
I hope things go well for you as you go through radiation and chemo.
