I thought things were going pretty well with husband - no new aspiration pneumonia for a little over a year. He had been getting aspiration pneumonia every 3 months or so until he completely went to feeding tube only for all food and liquid. But now he's had another aspiration pneumonia that landed him in the hospital. Doctors have told him that he may have chronic aspiration and his only hope may be a tracheotomy, and even that won't prevent aspiration.

Wondering if anyone else suffering from long-term effects of radiation has found anything that helps with aspiration pneumonia, such as therapies for lung health, etc.

Thanks,
Anita
