Wanted to share this news with everyone. Had my first solid food in three weeks. Had a bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup with crackers on Wed evening, had a bowl of beef veg soup with crackers and a container of choc pudding today. It was the best tasting food I can remember. Actually put on two pounds in two days. Still inputting 8 cans of insure per day. The radaition
won't start for three more weeks at least. Total of 6 weeks after surgery. Is this normal? Seems like a long time to wait. Doc says he wants the pech flap to heal before the rad starts. Dan
