My father has throat cancer. They have just started radiation. He has 32 treatments and is only on number 9. He has asked me to research and see if I can find any postings on eating. He is just wanting to taste something, anything. I did a search and had grim results. I cant find anyone that can taste anything. It seems after reading that, the worst is yet to come, but I cannot bare to give him that news. He still has saliva, just no taste. He has a feeding tube and took his first meal in it yesterday. This is a man that thinks about food 24-7. Now he is in a nightmare he cannot wake from. Is there anything he can take to taste anything. Is there anything after radiation you can still taste? Right now he is a Tang junkee, because that is all he can taste. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
