I have no knowledge about the type of surgery and swallowing problems Lee is having. I can offer my support to both you and Lee. As you travel this diffucult journey keep posting any questions you can think of. Someone with similer problems will respond. Use the search engine at the top of the page, you can read many older postings that may help you, The more knowledge you have the better off you are.
Welcome to the Oral cancer Foundation. It is a tight band of brothers that are all going thru the same thing. That includes caregivers also. I believe it's just as tough if not tougher on the caregiver as the patiant. We tend to vent our anger at those closest to us. We don't really mean it. Deep down we know how hard it can be on the primary caretaker.
Best Wishes, Danny Boy
