The swallowing problem just sucks.  It must be scary. What is your Doc going to do about that? Know that you are loved and cared for here.

The real scary part is, as time goes on, and if the muscles get completely
affected the only thing that can be done is a feeding tube into the stomach.
That if this happens I don't know how I will handle it. My DH had a tube going down his nose because of the throat cancer. With him everything was
taken out. He couldn't talk anymore. Tried to learn how to use the vibrator
gadget that you put under your neck and it is supposed to make the sounds of what you are saying. It was very hard.
