I am in the same boat right now. Ken is now 3 1/2 months post treatment and his recovery has been slow but he went back to work 3 weeks ago. Around the same time his throat started to hurt a little more. We attributed it to talking more and trying to eat more. The past few days his speech has been more muffled. We went to his ENT today and he moved up his scans that are scheduled for 6/30. Deep down I know they are just being cautious and there isn't anything to worry about until we get the results but I am really struggling with getting used to this being our "new normal".
