Hi @cskippy I a. 1 year out of treatment for mouth C. The radiation affected my speech as I sound very tongue tied. It has affected my chewing but most if all it has affected my swallowing.
I speak to.my support team..Dr's and am told nothing cand be done. I just have to try to eat. This js difficult when the muscles do not work. So I do try different foods but it has to be chewed and chewed. I then have to drink water to push it down. I find sparkling water works best. Even nonalcoholic beer.
It is terrible and scary. I purchased a Life Vac on Amazon in case if choking. See a Speech pathologist and they will provide you with exercise. Good luck..God Bless.
