I think I've spelled it correctly. Has anyone else experienced a fistula after surgery and radiation? If so how did you get the situation corrected? I had one develope that drains from the site of my tumor at the base of my tongue and exits on my chin. My ENT says it's best if it heals on it's own. We've discussed surgery to remedy the situation, but I'm trying to be patient and allow it to heal by itself. Any thoughts out there?
