I am a survivor of base of the tongue cancer diagnosed and treated in 2002. I had chemo, radiation and a radical neck. My wife monitored this site for me and we gained a lot of helpful knowledge. Once through with my treatment, we fell away because I was doing well.
I am back because I am now aspirating and had a bout with pneumonia. I am told I need a permanent feeding tube as my swallowing techniques are no longer viable. I am told that this is the result of the long term radiation effects.
I would like any input from old timers like me.
