I am 11 years out from start of treatment and the UW docs are sending me to swallowing boot camp in February to work on swallowing issues. Consists of two weeks of one hour daily sessions on learning new techniques to work that food down the throat. Issues might keep showing up as side effects from treatment but I am still very happy to be around to enjoy them!! Wonder how many pounds I'll gain??? - Kris
