I've just finished week 5 of 7 RT. I've not used my G-Tube in over 2 weeks. I'm eating some foods and trying to be more adventurous and challenge my swallow so that it remains strong.
However there are times when I'm I'm drinking a liquid, it could be warm tea or water, where I 'forget' how to swallow. I then hold the liquid as I don't know what to do and then I choke or have to spit out the liquid.
It could be that I'm tired, it's chemo week and I'm feeling very tired this week.
I don't think it's it's dysphagia as I can usually drink and I'm good with swallowing, it's just as if my throat says 'nope' and so closes.
Any advice would be great
