My Mom had half of her tongue removed, 15% of the floor of her mouth grafted, and a large neck disection on March 5, 2002. She underwent 6 weeks of radiation. She recently completed the series of visits to have new dentures fitted. (She doctors at Mayo Clinic).
Even though the dentures fit well, she still has a lot of trouble chewing, eating, and swallowing. Any one out there with a similar situation? Would appreciate any input.
