I have had many and trying on my own has landed me in the hospital 2 times for asperating turning into pneumonia. I am still working with my speech pathologist. I wish they would let me eat something a little thicker but after this last bout with pneumonia I can not even drink water. They say my muscles are working so I look at it as if water is too thin let me try real food. I have an appointment soon and hopefully they will agree with me. Good luck and stay safe with liquids.
10/10 IV OSCC metastatic to lymph nodes. 10/10 Peg,Port,Trech. due to rad scarring cannot swallow. 9/12 Pet clean. SCC back again 11/12. Tumor attached to jugular, Rad DX left side of neck 11/19/12. No Chemo or Rads. MRI on 1/11/13 for chronic pain w/pet scan 2/15/13.
