Hi Callie - you're among great friends here. The swallowing business can be very tough and the suggestion for post-rads therapy are excellent. I was given exercises that really helped, and I had a very mild problem compared to Don's.

I'm so happy to read about how much you're helping him! All of you caregivers are quite fantastic. Please tell Don we're all rooting for him.
