Hi! How are you doing in your effort to learn oesophageal speech?0February 2014
Hello,
Rough. Is treatment worth it? Really. I'm so sorry for your pain.0August 2013
I'm on the same journey. Electro larynx and all. Been a full year for me, and my throat area is still sore and stiff. Always stretching. I use a 2 inch apron most of the time, as I said my Stoma area is still tender, and a Larry Button or Tube is uncomfortable. Clearing mucus is constant. I also had my lympthnodes removed, so I have swelling from fluid (edema) that can't drain. I haven't decided if I want to install a TEP for speech...Have heard of possible leakage, and I don't want to deal with that. No fun, but Great to be alive!!0August 2013

Congratulations on completing treatment. It sounds like you are onto the healing phase and getting use to the new normal. Please do not hesitate to ask questions as they come up.0August 2013
