I found that after my radiation and chemo, I couldn't eat anything that had any type of spice to it. I definitely don't drink carbonated drinks any longer. I did after my surgery and prior to my radiation and chemo. Just can't handle them now for some reason. And I finished my tratments in January of this year. I've said this before, but in a lot of ways, I eat healthier now than I did before all of my problems started. I've been able to put some weight back on as well. Slowly, but puttin it on none the less.
