I know the drill, everybody is different, each surgery leaves different scars, results vary from therapy, etc etc
What I don't know is the actual experiences from OCF posters. Wed, april 15 will be seven weeks after my glossectomy and neck dissection and I still cannot swallow anything. My ENT follow up on Good Friday showed my epiglottis "frozen" with scar tissue and not moving. I do my speech and swallowing exercises but don't see much progress. No professional will hazard a guess as to when I could expect to swallow. My ENT recommended cancelling my Barium swallow test on April 29th since I'd probably fail that one also so I can glean that two weeks is too soon to expect to be able to swallow.
Just impatient - I can deal with the PEG, but would like to be able to do some "comfort" eating or drinking
So HOW LONG FOLKS DID IT TAKE FOR YOU?
