I still can't quite swallow well. The Rad docs think I might have some scarring from he therapy. I supposed 2 see a speech therapist in 2 weeks. I think it's 'cos I've been directing so much mucus & food (during chemo) the other direction since November.

Can ne1 offer suggestions on how 2 improve swallowing. The main probs are sometimes the liquid wants 2 go up my nose when I take 2 big a sip & I think one side of my throat is stiff.
