Sammie,

David has and is still having trouble and we completed RT 6/22 we are 11 weeks complete and is still having trouble getting anything down except water. However he got "Kesslers Cocktail" which he never goes anywhere without. It is Lidocaine and Maylox. It gives his throat instant relief. Bout it only lasts about 5-10 minuites. This has allowed him to take it wait a few minutes then attempt Campbells Chicken and Noodle soup (A favorite here) vegetarian vegetable and few other things. He may get the soup down a little today but then tomorrow too sore. The Kesslers is really helping make progress. The smile on his face to have food by mouth is worth all of it. Ask your docs for this. It is a miracle worker....Good Luck
