Haven't posted on here in a while so thought I would update.....had my 6 month checkup/ camera down throat and scans two days ago .....oncologist reminded me it's been 4.5 years now so one more 6 month to go then discharged ( all being well) 🙄....a few issues have worsened namely the swallowing issues I've had since the surgery and radiotherapy ...the muscles in my throat are not working as well as they should and I need to see a specialist to see if we can strengthen them .. I suggested lots more beer but apparently that wont do the trick .. shame 😂....issue is if the throat muscles get worse the two way valve will stop working and I'll end up swallowing food into my lungs which will obvs. Be bad news long infections and poss worse 😪....will see what happens I suppose in the coming months when I've seen the specialist .....
Anyway just keep pushing on and roll with the punches as always. Still consider myself to be one of the lucky ones !!!
Stay well all xx
