Hi all,

My tongue was removed three weeks ago following the discovery of a salivary gland tumor in my tongue. I still can't swallow - I do have a speech therapist who is working with me on getting water and apple sauce down. My trach wasn't taken out yesterday. I do have radiation starting in a few weeks, and I'd like to make some progress before that starts. Has anyone had a similar experience trying to learn how to swallow again after a full tongue removal? Is it even possible?
