@yesmei123 I cannot swallow due to radiation. OHSU showed me the free floating bone that moves to close the airway when you swallow, was not moving during the swallowing study. Have you heard of this?

@krisohlson I am experiencing this and now have a G-tube and am NPO - nothing by mouth. This is pretty common after effect of radiation treatment to any head, neck or throat cancer. The long term effects do not go away. As my ENT stated long ago, "Radiation, the gift that keeps on giving" Aspiration pneumonia is a big threat - I've been hospitalized for it twice.
