I just started my 4th week of radiation treatment today, and had my 4th chemo/cisplatin. While I don't have any taste yet, I was pleased to discover that milk is very soothing to my throat. While at chemo I was able to down 3 cartons of milk for 480 calories; plan to chase my food with milk rather than water/want (for the first time in my life!) those extra calories!

Anyone have any other tips for staying on top of this game?
