@niml Hi .. I had treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer in 2006 - 35 rounds of radiation, and 5-6 doses of chemo. Had my feeding tube removed a few months after completion of treatment.
I thought I was doing 'ok' until mid 2020 - diagnosed with dysarthria and dysphagia and also severe neck fibrosis.
With swallowing - I have pretty mashed up food, and avoid eating out in public - due to issues with swallowing, and having to spit or cough up food that tends to get stuck in my throat.
With my severe neck fibrosis - I do neck and jaw exercises daily at home, and also go for therapy sessions every other week - hoping that this will help.
Keep well !!
