Hi
My Mom had her swallow test last week and she did great. Much to her surprise, the doctor said that she had 100% of her swallowing ability. This is the first piece of good news we have gotten since this cancer nite mare has begun. So her doctor recommend that she begin to eat soft foods. She did try eating some soft noodles and it hurt her throat so much. It has even caused her to start bleeding again. She has been coughing up small amounts of blood since this attempt. Could the tissue lining her throat still be this raw 2 months after IMRT/chemo? She is very discouraged.
