Hi all,
Had a strange reaction yesterday ,just wondering if anyone else has experienced similar.
Im 23 weeks post treatment, throat is pain free, eating quite good, dry mouth hinders swallowing a little but its getting better. I suffer with lymphodema under jaw and especially in left submandibular node. Do my exercises and massage every day.
Yesterday decided try a yakitori chicken kebab. Id tried a korma last week with success, so this was next on list. While eating it was a bit spicy, think it had ginger in it, but wasnt uncomfortable. Takes me a while eat meat so about 30mins later neck under chin started swelling and on either side especially the left. It felt hard to touch. And was warm to touch . Had a bit of a panic, drank loads of milk which settled it a little. It wasnt effecting breathing but neck felt very tight. It had softened a tiny bit before bed. Woke this morning and its back to normal, well the new normal, bit puffy and node tiny bit swollen, but I don't look like a bull frog anymore.
Conclusion is won't be having yakitori kebab again . Has anyone else had a similar experience?
