Thanks Paul, I just wonder if I can be as strong as you and some of the other people that are on this forum. The problem with my swallowing is that I had to have more than half my tongue removed and the tongue is so important to swallowing. Combine this with my 70 gray radiation. I have some signs of aspiration on my chest CT.
