Milestone!
My daughter, Sally's 4th birthday was Wednesday. She loves sushi, I actually ate some. The soy sauce was a bit saltier than I remember, but ....I am three months out from radiation and six month from a near total glossectomy. The thick salavia almost drove me insane, it was about 6-8 weeks afer radiation before it was thin enough for me to swallow.
When I stopped using the suction machine was a huge milestone.
When I got my prosthetic for the roof of my mouth. It helps me speak so much better.
When I started drinking again. About 3-4 weeks after surgery.
When I found this website.
And now...everyday seems like a milestone just to be alive.
