Hi Everybody,

My father was diagnosed for tongue cancer stage III in Feb. this year. He has surgery to dissect the affected portion of tongue and had 3 lymph nodes removed. After that he took radiation and is still recovering.

Recently, like 10-15 days back, he saw some glands (around 8-10) around his lower check region to neck region. Any idea what they are? Are they the side effect of radiation? I am worried as they appeared recently and radiation was completed 4 months back.

Your suugestion and advice are appreciated.

Thanks,

Krishna
