I’m 4 weeks post RT. Going through the side effects but getting better. Can eat some food but can’t gain any weight although I’m not losing any weight anymore. I’m experiencing a weird symptom when I’m eating solid food. It seems there is a gland or something on the inner portion of my left jaw that swells  like a small bubble, very painful. Shortly after I stop eating it disappears and there is no pain. I’m wondering if it’s a salivary gland that’s damaged and closed. Not sure if anyone else has seen this

  • Salivary gland issues are common after RT, our mouths are a bit of a mess, ask your RT team for advice on the issue, I'm pretty sure they will have had a lot of asks concerning the issue.
