Thyroid Cancer
My father was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer and the operation was done on the 2nd week of Feb this year..After operation, he faced problems while drinking water but not while eating food.Now it's almost 3 months.He choked very badly while drinking water recently.. Though he was drinking water using a spoon, it got stuck in his throat and he couldn't breathe for a long time..At that moment, we thought we were gonna lose him..The moment was horrible..Is there any cure to this problem? It is very tough to see near ones to endure such pain.
Thanks in advance.
