i have had sessions with speech therapist but they arent forcing me to do anything past what i'm comfortable with, thats why i figured getting on here i can find out others experiences. i'm just about back to pre surgery weight taking 9 bottles of multifibre fortisip per day and 90ml of calogen as a calorie booster. i can talk reasonably well all things considered but living alone and not many vistors dont need to much, when i do i get frothy saliva from it and often brings on the mucus hacking . my surgeon says what i have saliva wise is what i will be stuck with being 15 months down the track after radiation he doesnt expect any change to it now.
