Thank you for your reply Gloria. I do have a PEG tube which I forgot to mention. I'm on a liquid diet plus tube feeds for now. My swallowing is slow and labored except when drinking soup, shakes or water. I actually think one of my perotid glands was sacrificed during surgery. He wants to irradiate the non-cancer side as a precaution. After this long run I'm going to let him do it in an effort to try to get in front of this thing.
