Congrats to you Howard. Someone on the board once referred to our new speech as "Englisp" - I just love that term! As swelling goes down, it gets easier and easier to eat, talk, swallow, etc. I too was a fortunate T1NOMO, no radiation required. Last week I celebrated my one year of survivorship, and will still occaisionally lisp when I am tired or have been talking too much. Keep us updated on your progress, you've made it through the worst part so far.

Sincerely,
Lisa
