Yeah for Hopkins!!!! Yeah for your ENT!!! You have no idea how lucky Gail Mac's husband and Cathy G. you are! I am glad that there are advocates out telling our loved ones THEY HAVE TO SWALLOW! Dan does his mouth opening exercises frequently and doesn't do his swallowing exercises as much as he should although he is eating everything and the doc said that was good exercise too.
We too got on our oncology and ENT group and they are making sure they tell their patients to swallow. I know this for sure because I work in the recovery room and have been told by the family members that they were told about my husband and they are making sure to have their family member swallow.
