things have gone downhill over the last few weeks. I aspirate almost every swallow and my voice is quite weak, so weak I can really only whisper. I saw my ENT the other day. He has referred me to a Dr, at UCLA who specializes in folks like me/us who had severe radiation damage causing swallowing and speech problems. I can not see him for several weeks. I am becoming anti social. I will not eat with people other than my wife, and due to the aspiration, i don't even like having a drink with old friends. I am kind of depressed. I might see my GP this week and talk about anti depressants. I did take Paxil when i was getting "roasted" during treatment. Just some tough times that I need to adjust to. I know I am still a lucky guy, 11 years of few issues, I guess the radiation damage is catching up with me
