Surgery 10/29/12 R tonsillectomy/neck dissection along w/ part of the soft palate removed. Received 30 radiation treatments and 2 chemo/cisplatin treatments. Was not able to do the 3rd chemo due to low blood levels and lack of strenght. Still only swallowing water. Everything goes through his feeding tube. He has been off of work since the surgery. Wondering what to expect for recovery? Swallowing returning? Strenght returning?
