Im Back,
Well even though I did not eat properly or drink for 3 weeks, I had to been called into Hospital, after 4 weeks so they can feed me and saline, but going to try to find something I can eat some how, drip feeeding me around the clock I have lost 17 klg now Im out of hospital.....22 klg I had a very bad reaction to the Chemo, so after 4 shots, I have to wait for the other 2 coming this week, I think, I have now completed 35 Radiation and put up with all the flem, to go with it, but now I am out back home, can not seem to eat by myself again, I am meant to eat by mouth or teach my self to, again, but everything I try to eat tastes disgusting.

In the end I chose not to have a post fitted, but managing with a nose feed......

Can you tell me how long I took you after Radiation to get your taste Buds back, so you can enjoy your food again. also it would seem my hearing had detiriated slightly.

The good news is my 6cm lymph node has now reduced up to 95% now, I dont know how much the base of the tongue Tumor has reduced or if I will survive 5 years or more but if I dont eat I wont last long.

Any tips on eating or drinking these hideous powdered nutrition drinks, or something my taste Buds will love, it would be so helpful

that's it up to now with 2 more chemo, to go, I hope its all over soon .
