Thank-you both. He wants to go to GP--I am pushing for the ENT Cancer Surgeon who has done follow-ups.

No swallowing story--His reconstruction has left him with what looks like a diverticulum, during the Barium Swallow, liguid would go done with the hard swallow and then as he released the pouch(diverticulum) would push it bsck up and the epiglottis isn't in position then to protect his lungs~! Been trying to convince surgeon to do something.

Musc in Charleston does not believe he could benefit from the Stimultor-- says he doesn't have any nerves left there.
