At that point in my treatment, I found the last few treatments and first weeks post treatment to be about the same (in terms of pain, discomfort). I am 3 weeks post treatment and just beginning to think about solid foods (though I have a PEG). I had a few canned peaches without issue. I am going to start on Ensure and step up from there.
Congratulations on being so close to the end!
