Hi, I'm a week out of radiation and chemo for tumor on base of tongue. I'm still eating with a feeding tube and sipping water to keep up my swallowing. I've read mentions of tongue and mouth exercises that I should be doing. Would somebody please tell me more about them?

Thanks!


Stage 2 SCC right base of tongue. 7 weeks radiation & chemo with erbitux. Peg tube. Concluded radiation treatments 5.7.09. Two recurrences, two surgeries. Most recent, a substantial glossectomy, 3/25/11. PEG tube. Minimal swallowing ability, but working on it.
