I am 14 months post CRT tonsil cancer. Although I realise swallowing problems is common with this type of treatment, I am concerned that mine has only really started now 14 months post treatment. Has anyone else had this ? I'm quite concerned about this. I was seen by my oncologist 3 weeks ago and I had a nososcopy and nothing was mentioned, apart that things looked okay, although at that appointment I didn't mention anything. I've been hoping it will go away, but it hasn't. It's on the side I had the treatment.
Many thanks as always

What are you feeling? Are you finding it hard to swallow?

Maybe it’s just that you’re not producing enough saliva to ease the food bolus down via weakened swallow muscles. I find I can swallow dry stuff but a bit always gets left behind

You are very welcome
It's hard encountering all these little hiccups. You always think the worst but it rarely happens. Keep doing your swallow exercises. They are for life
