Thanks, Jojo - I'll be sharing this info with my therapist (well, with the director of the Speech/Audiology dept of my local hospial - a different therapist will work with me the next time I go). I got the feeling that while they're seeing more H&N cancer patients, they're still not seeing an awful lot. I did mention VitalStim (hopefully, I won't need it), and was told that the hospital didn't even have the equipment - I'd be referred to a nearby (across the street) rehab ctr if it were necessary.

I think the director is hoping I'll give her a "real patient" view.

Thanks again,

- Pam
