Hi All,
I had a swallow test and they found that in my food pipe between the back of my throat and the voice valve I have weakness and the food and drink is staying there not progressing down just relying on gravity as the muscles aren't strong enough to fill the gap. It's a joint thing the Consultant has said the operation for the laryngectomy and the radiotherapy for the OS Cancer.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had the the 'Katy Price ' treatment as it's now described 
I've been advised that if it's doable and is okay then it will have to be renewed approximately every 3 months, anything to get rid of my 'wet' bubbly voice after a drink.
Thanks,
Tony
Hi Tony. I didn’t know about this procedure so had to look it up. Seems like it’s worth trying
If you do go ahead let us know how it goes.

Im with Dani, although i have heard botox being used for lips and gums as it was suggested for me to bulk up my lower lip but my consultant never went ahead not sure why. I think nowadays botox treatment has become more acceptable, its always worth a try as you have nothing to lose. All the best.

Its sometimes not easy but its worth it !

Thanks again
