Oh wow, @srm, that must've been frightening to cough up so much blood. I'm glad that recurrence was ruled out. I'd admire your attitude of acceptance of the "gifts" radiation and cancer continue to give you.

While other head and neck cancer survivors may not have experienced a bleeding aneurysms of the lingual artery (rare), they certainly are not strangers to adjusting to the life adjustments to the curve balls of living life after treatment. I think @fwpoole @alpaca @jeffk @sepdvm @loli @hrhwilliam @jessskoldal will understand.

SRM, will you be able to have a liquid diet by mouth or will you have to supplement with a feeding tube? Can you drink any consistency, i.e., pureed foods? What pain management is working for you at the moment?
