Hi all,
I am 5 months post radio/chemo for base of tongue SCC.
progress for me is very slow. I still am fully dependant on the RIG and it’s getting me down that I may never eat or drink again.
Speech and language have told me to only try sips of water until I have another swallow test.
I am really struggling with even sips of water it just comes back up to my mouth/nose. Any advice?
I’ve had a course of steroids which has really helped with the pain so that’s amazing but I would just love to know that I will get there with eating and drinking.
Carla
