Hi Joanna,

I'm standing up waving my hand to say "me too" I am 1 1/2 years out of surgery and my throat on that side is still hard. I can only speak for myself, but I still have trouble swallowing some things. I attributed it to the chemo aggravating my healing process. That's just my thought.

I have an appointment with my "new" ENT today to get a reading on my ct scans and I plan to discuss my backward progress with him.

So I really am no help on the swalowing problem you have, since my circustances are so different, but my neck is hard. I know some people were told early on about massage and maybe that helped them. I was never told about that.

Good luck and I hope he feels better soon. If not I'd sure call the doctor and not wait until the 24th. Piece of mind is so very important in handling things.

Take care,
Dinah
