hi Rolanda,

2 months after rad/chemo i realized i needed help eating because liquids (even milkshakes) just came back out my nose. treatment had destroyed almost all my neck muscles and i could bearly open my mouth. i got help from a speech therapist who had me eating baby food after 3 months of treatment. after 8 months i could almost eat but things still had to be very well chewed. eventually i got my esophagus streatched twice. so after 1 year, i started to eat most things easily... but it really took another year of learning how to eat things before i could eat with confidence.

that maybe an extreeme case, but it shows that with help, most of us can get eating again.

it sounds like your hubby needs help. get the docs on board... he deserves it. he will feel much better as he progress... hopefully the treatment won't last too long.

best wishes,
larryb
