So sorry it's been so long since I've updated. Proud to announce it's all good news though! Guess who is eating normal food, speaking well, and swallowing normally despite the grim outlook we were first given by doctors and speech pathologists??? Miracles still happen and my sister is walking, talking, eating proof! Of course her speech isn't perfect and she sometimes has to repeat herself, but she talks soooo much better than we thought she would. It was less than a month and half after her surgery and she was eating pizza! So far so good with radiation therapy. Today is day 15 of 30 and the side effects are minimal- occasional sore throat and thicker saliva at night time. She is happy that radiation is taking care of the hair that was growing on her flap I wish you all the best and thank you for being there for me when I needed it.
