HI, It's been 6 years nearly since I finished treatments and aside form having little use of salivory glands I'm hanging in there. While I didn't have surgery I did have concurrent radiation with Cisplatin treatment and its was a tough 2 months and then some. Had PEG for nutrition and only dropped 10 pounds but back to 230 now (I'm 6'5"). Never a smoker and moderate drinker they think that reflux may have caused the cancer. Things remain sore at times in my mouth and swallowing is somewhat altered. Occassional bouts with thrush and ulcerations. But PET scans were clear and my ENT scopes me every 6 months. Anybody have similar experience?
