Hi Greg!

Welcome to OCF, glad you found us!

It sounds like you are doing well. Are your doctors discussing radiation?

I can swallow pretty well now but had the same issues as you do with fluids going down the wrong side. Have you tried using a thickener in your fluids? I've been using a nectar thickener and slowly have been able to dilute it to an almost water consistency. Funny we have to retrain ourselves how to swallow, people take it for granted!

Glad your here with us, there are many wonderful people on this site. Ask any questions you may have, someone is bound to know the answer.

Yeah on the clear scan!
