I was diagnosed with stage four tonsil cancer, HPV+, with lymph involvement. I did not have a PEG at the recommendation of my team. Cisplatin once a week and 38 radiation treatments. Swallowing was difficult at times and all taste was gone but I was still able to drink ensure and eat some food. I lost 23 pounds from a 5'7" frame. The treatment was brutal but doable and I had my first clear pet scan 3 months ago. I still cannot tolerate sweets or most bread but most things are coming back taste wise. I am not putting any weight back on yet and were not sure if it is because I don't eat anything bad now or if its something else.
