Miss Vicki,

I think I still have some residual swelling after 4 months. I'm not sure things will ever be the same in my throat after the "microwave" treatment. Are you able to plug your trach for anytime at all? They told me as soon as I was able to leave the trach plugged they would remove it. I'm a bit confused is the swelling from surgery or radiation?

I'm still on a feeding tube as well. I eat some, but not enough to maintain my weight.

I didn't have any jaw surgery, but have seen some results and the swelling is tremendous. I'm not sure how long to expect that swelling to go down.

God bless you! Welcome to this site. I'm here to help if I can.
