Hello Pauline and welcome to the Cancer Chat forum.
I'm sorry to hear you have developed face lymphoedema since having your operation for mouth cancer 5 weeks ago. This must be a very difficult time
We do have some information about cancer and lymphoedema on our website, but it may be worth getting in touch with one of cancer nurses to find out more about face lymphoedema. They have a phone line you can call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m, but if talking is difficult at the moment then you can make a post about this in their section of the forum called ask the nurses. They're very insightful and will do all they can to help.
Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar position will share their experiences and advice with you soon too.
We're sending you all our support Pauline and wishing you all the best with your recovery.
