Rich says thank-you for the replies, We will try the soup/ broth tomorrow and see how we get on! I read somewhere on the board about the Starbucks cold coffee, so I bought one to see if he could taste/swallow it....... We jumped for joy! Not only did he swallow some he could taste it too! The menu by mouth has just changed from water, to water and Starbucks! Rich is in agony with his throat, we are only 6 weeks out of treatment so I have been scanning old posts and printing them off, He feels "normal" knowing there are other people that have gone through this and took the time to share on here and that his symptoms are only to be expected.
From the bottom of our hearts.
Thank you.
