I am 10 and a hlf months removed from rad. 9 from surgery. I had my ENT appointment last week and the MD said the swelling had finally totally subsided. He doesnpt need to see me for 4 months now. I still have problems with things getting caught in th eback of my throat. I use water when I eat. I notice small improvements every week. It takes a while to get the saliva flowing again.
