Mojo244, I can relate. I did not realize that I began not to swallow several months after treatment ended, Nov 2021, & developed severe Radiation Fibrosis (scare tissue). Epiglottis is not functioning and given tumor on base of left side of tongue, that is not functioning as best as possible. Have speech therapist now; never offered during treatment. Had tube immediately removed. However, over time, I puree everything which makes eating slightly easier. Had esophagus stretched twice but 2nd time not as successful. May have to have tube again to ensure nutrition & to regain weight, which despite hi-protein/calorie shakes + eating, is not adding pounds as hoped. I too add gravy, cream soups and applesauce on many things to make it easier to swallow. Any other suggestions welcomed
