I will be 2 years post treatment in April 2025 from head and neck cancer. It’s very encouraging to see posts from so many long term survivors. My care team did mention long term effects and hearing these stories makes me want to restart the swallowing exercises even though I only have a little trouble now. Besides the swallowing I was told that carotid stenosis could be a long term problem as well. Im planning on being alive long enough to have to deal with these issues.

I strongly recommend sticking with the exercises. When you’re doing well they are difficult to commit to. Keep in mind you are exercising for the future. My problems did not begin to develop until 15 years after my treatment.
