Over half of my tongue was removed. Skin taken from left forearm to reconstruct and skin graft from left leg. Had radiation for 6 weeks and ended May 3, 2024. Still have a feeding tube in place as I am unable to swallow enough to survive. A lot of pain in my arms and shoulder Completed PT and now on to OT for Lymphoma in my neck. Starting speech therapy this month. Does this end? Have you been successful in eating again and not needing a feeding tube? Feeling very alone and lost on this journey. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
