Hi l am new to the site. I have developed lumps on my face and jaw 6 months post treatment. I had received 6 sessions of chemo and 35 sessions of radiotherapy. Treatment ended 27th of February. I had neck and tonsil cancer. Has anyone had similar side effects?. The lumps appeared at the sides of mouth down to my jawline.l have now developed lumps on my cheeks.
DearFarraige
Thank you for getting in touch and welcome to the online community, I hope you find it supportive. My name is Gillian and I’m one of the Cancer Information Nurse Specialists on the Macmillan Support Line.
I am sorry to hear you have developed some lumps on your face and jaw area following your treatment. Sometimes late effects of head and neck cancer treatments can occur, but we must advise that because we can't diagnose on this platform, we recommend that you contact your hospital team today for medical review. We normally say if it is a new symptom, a symptom that persists, gets worse or is changing then you must make your doctor aware.
I hope this information is helpful. You can always call one of our nurses directly if you want to talk over your concerns or require any further support.
Best wishes
Gillian, Cancer Information Nurse Specialist
