Carol has always had problems with her ears and sinuses. Even having problems with her right ear because of the tube. She was so use to it she ignored her pain in her left ear. Then she started having problems with eating and swallowing, hence the first ENT visit and after that she was told Stage IV SCC. She hasn't been able to eat any food orally since. She has tried but it gets stuck and water doesn't do the job. She has even choked. Believe me she would rather go orally than the PEG.

She can take water orally and drinks a lot of it. The Drs have told her it is important to work the muscles everyday so she doesn't get other complications. Food intake, no can do orally. She's choked on jello.

After awhile you learn how to plow through!
