hello all,
del my hubby has recently had a biopsy- 21/2 months post radiation tx. still not able to eat, just sipping water. but the observation of the surgeon is that the epiglottis has been irradiated to the point of non function; and although he says people can live with this situation, del will always have a risk of aspiration. but has anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?? i'm trying to help him to be able to swallow things soon. havent seen the speech swallow therapist since this news-
thanks, and have a peaceful holiday season
