Have you had a consult with a speech therapist? I was given guidance and exercises to help maintain swallowing function during and after treatment. If you are not able to see one, I recommend searching online for exercises to help dysphagia and do them 2-3 times a day. They consist of tongue exercises and things like swallowing with your mouth closed and tongue on roof of mouth. If you can see s speech pathologist do so ASAP as you already started treatment. Hope this helps.

I saw a speech tharpist today and will be seeing every wed. Yes she had some greats tips. It all gets a little overwhelming, Friday I am scheduled to see palliative care to decide how to treat any future pain as I am on lyrica and baclofen and much needed tylenol for a totally different issue
