Hi everyone

7 weeks post treatment I am having difficulty swallowing. I can eat most things now, but it has to be soft and wet. Like pastas with lots of sauce. White sauce on cauliflower, even corned beef if its cooked enough. But something like a toasted cheese sandwich doesn't go. I can chew all I like but the saliva isn't there and I have to wash it down with water.

I'm not particularly concerned about the saliva, I expect that is normal and will eventually return. I'm more concerned about the swallowing. Quite often food feels like its stuck in the front of the throat just past the tongue, if that makes sense. It stays there until I wash it down. Is that normal? Will normal swallowing resume? Because right now its the swallowing, not the pain or anything else, that is holding me back and it feels like its been getting worse. Is it just a matter of exercise? Keep eating and practice swallows?
