WZ -

Just read your post. Always nice to meet another "long term" survivor!

Curious - Have you had an ENT look at why your swallowing and speech has deteriorated (relatively) recently since you are so far out from your last treatment?

I agree that the liquid we can get down is ABSOLUTELY the only thing that provides any variety......but unfortunately, in my case its not enough to sustain on its own. Glad to hear that you can still manage some soft foods.

The PEG / pump are a pain to deal with, but it is the best way I'm aware of to consistently maintain control over caloric intake.

Good Luck with things and always keep your doctors notified of any changes.
