Debbie,

I have had 2 swallow studies now and will have another in a week or so. They had to cut the nerve that controls swallowing and thats why the trouble swallowing. I do, however feel that there is some swelling due to neck disection but it seems like food that I can eat goes down so it may be in my head also. I sure hope so. This having to learn to swallow again is very, very frustrating but Im sure it will be worth it in the end.
