Recovery from Throat Cancer
Type
Speech-Language Pathology
Location
Warrenton, VA 20186
Description
My father, Brendan Connolly, is recovering from throat cancer and needs assistance with swallowing. They had to remove the nerve controlling the left side of his tongue and throat. He is able to eat diced solids, but supplements with a nutrition shake through a peg tube. He will be discharged from his rehab center next Tuesday and we'd like to get him additional help to get off the tube as quickly as possible.

Thank you,
Patrick
