Hello,
We saw the Dr. on Wednesday and I did ask him if the fluid could be Chyle and he said no. He mentioned something about the damage to the lymph nodes and dead skin, etc... I did not really understand but my husband did. They are going to do some tests this week to check out the fluid and also a little lump that is now in his cheek. Man this never stops. I noticed a lot of people have read this post but only one has replied. That makes me think the fluid drainage must not be that common. I just feel like the Dr.'s do not move quick enough. They said somethings you have to wait and see. I am grateful they are doing something this week to at least check things out.
Thank you for your reply.
Sincerely,
Tamara (Kyle's wife)
