Thanks very much ! Mayo clinic calling me back Jan 11th for swallow test with flouroscope procedure to see how things are working. They want me to suck on ice chips and do some minor swallowing starting this week.
Cancer was at base of tongue and months before I knew it, I couldnt lean back and sip tea or coffee, as it went down the air hole. So a long time in the making - hope it heals up...

Thank you for the reply!
