We hope that in time and when she goes back to have her osephagus stretched she may be able to swallow again.
if you didn`t know she was very unlucky. Non smoking virtually tee total and she got tounge cancer which spread into her her neck.
Tounge removed and replaced with a bit from her leg-15 nights in hospital and when she had recovered a bit six weeks of radio therapy and a few doses of chemo

Talking of unlucky, my mother - tee total, non-smoker, low fat diet, exercise within the limits of her rheumatoid arthritis has had a heart attack recently - cholesterol levels through the roof. On top of that, when having a chest x-ray before starting her anti-TNF injections she was told she has TB!!!!!! How did that happen?
Crap happens to the best people sometimes, and I admire the strength of character they have (as with my Mam and I suspect your wife too OG) and the courage with which they handle their lot in life.
Whatever you both have decided to do, I wish you well. It is always a humbling experience knowing someone coping with such difficulties in their lives.

Re: What would you do?
OG, you have a great attitude and that is just what she needs from you at a time like this. Be happy to be alive and enjoy the days you have. I'm glad you make this decision.PPhammer, I am so sorry that someone you love so much is going through this but we never do know what our lot in life will be. She is handling it like a trooper just like my Mom did and it made it so much easier for all of us. I'm sure they both had their moments but we never saw it and I bet that will be her gift to you as it was to us.
God bless you both, take one day at a time and don't look to far ahead.
