Hi all, I’ve not been on here for a while but I’m having the same problem “swallowing”
At the moment it is worse than ever as I am struggling to even get fluids down. I can drink but very slowly and I am managing yoghurt, custard and things like that. I seem to have good times and bad times
I saw my consultant in February and I got the all clear and go back in May but at the moment I’m not having a good time. I always appreciate your advice and support so I would be grateful for any advice.

Hi Lilian. You’re about three years out of treatment aren’t you?
What did your consultant say about your swallowing issues when you saw him in February?

Hi Dani It wasn’t as bad then as it is now, it just seems to have gotten worse since then
