Finally, after 4 or 5 months, I am beginning to eat real foods by mouth. I think one of my problems was the lack of appetite. My Med Onc. prescribed Megace for me to tske one tsp. per day. That and my Vstim treatments have worked wonders. I am eating just about anything (No popcorn yet) but apparently my stomach has shrunk and I have to eat 4 or 5 times per day to get enough to sustain my weight. The taste is still not right, but at least the food does not make me sick anymore. I am scheduled to have the PEG tube removed in a couple of weeks. Hooray for that! I told my wife last night that I was like a kid with a new toy - able to eat again. One problem now is that she got used to not having to cook and prepare meals ffor the two of us.
