15 days agoReturning to work while managing swallowing difficulties and jaw mobility issues from radiation treatment presents real challenges that many in this community understand. Consider speaking with your healthcare team about workplace accommodations that might help, such as flexible meal breaks or access to softer foods throughout the day. Many employers can provide reasonable adjustments when they understand your medical needs, and connecting with others here who have navigated similar situations at work might offer practical strategies that have worked for them.
