Phyllis, who battled neck and head cancer, moved to a care facility. She could not receive food or liquids by mouth and instead required a feeding tube.
Upon referral to Speech Therapy, Phyllis was evaluated to determine her ability to swallow safely. Her SLP discovered that Phyllis had not participated in a swallow study throughout previous hospitalizations, and she had reportedly received little to no education on how head and neck cancers and their treatments can negatively impact swallowing function.
With a Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) from Powerback's Swallow Solutions team, Phyllis regained her ability to eat and live independently.
