Help in a situation like this: Caring for someone with throat cancer

@krisohlson I am sorry you are suffering through the late effects of radiation. It seems that our medical teams are not always great at warning us and managing all the late side effects. Did you work with a swallowing therapist when this was happening? Are you still doing followup scans? How are you doing dealing with these changes?

Yes I did attend some swallowing therapies. This year I saw a therapist and they gave me some therapies, but they said there is really nothing we could do in my case. I have long finish followup scans. Well, I can't sing and talking is difficult. People have a hard time understanding me on the phone. This do to the radiation in 2010 and the second cancer surgery I had in 2020. I try to enjoy life, gardening, little traveling, small household projects. Thank you asking.
