Thanks guys. For a ome reason my doctor said lets eat evetything by mouth, lets get that tube out. I was shocked. I have been doing my swallowing exercises and eating by mouth and my neck hurts. Is this from using muscles that have not been used much? I also had a radical neck disecton, plus its only been 4 weeks since radiation. Could this be why I have some tightness and pain? Thanks


Tongue Cancer
1/2 tongue removed, replaced by flap from forearm. April 15, 2014
neck disection, 1 lympnode involved, doctors removed all to make sure cancer is gone.
30 rad treatments and 2 cisplatin chemo, doctor said I did not need the third
one. Finished up July 30,2014
Chemo treatment was my choice. The board felt surgery and radiation was plenty to take care of my cancer.
