Debbie,

Thank you. I've been trying to remember what my speech therapist called that before I felt like I could respond.

It was about 16 months after treatment had ended when he mentioned that I still had some lymphedema. Under my chin was thick, hard, and enlarged. I had just thought it was permanent scar tissue left from surgery and/or radiation. It soon after that started to go away, maybe helped by the exercises my therapist had me doing. Anyway, I'm 2 years post Tx now and it's completely gone.
