Hello Karen and welcome to the board.

It sounds like you have had a tough time with your treatment so I hope you are improving a bit at a time. I didn't have a flap so I can't help there but I do understand the debilitation and eating difficulty after radiation. This forum has helped me so much as has the extensive information database on the main site. I met Tizz through this site and she has been a great support as is Gabriele who I met up with at my last visit to the head and neck oncology unit where she is a patient also. Small world!

I'll look forward to reading how you are progressing - keep on posting. Others here will have travelled your path and can help with your particular problems.

Love from Helen
