Hi @jano, welcome back. There have been plenty of updates in the Head & Neck Cancer group. See recent and all discussions here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/head-neck-cancer/

I think MSherfinski might appreciate your thoughts about getting the feeding tube removed and recovery post surgery in this discussion:

Jano, how’s the recovery of your taste buds and dry mouth now 2 years out? How about the neuropathy you were experiencing?

Hello @jano At what stage of the process are you? I was last treated in 2014 and I'm pushing on with the usual side effects/ongoing problems. I'm seeing the oncology dentist in Auckland today about my biting issues. I have only a few teeth left, wear a dental plate and mouth guard but I am biting on the "flap" over my left lower gum. It's not much fun but I keep well and I'm glad to be alive.
