12 months post radiation and I still can't eat anything spicy - even tomato sauce hurts (I think you guys call it ketchup) and forget chilli and any alcohol - no way it burns! I'm about to go through it all again so if I'm lucky I'll be back to yoghurt, eggs, milk and bland, bland, bland! (I do thank God for cheesecake and icecream, though).
