Welcome. Lisa, I also am glad you found this forum. It's been a huge help for me communicating with others who have been down this road. When I first came on here I was afraid I might never be able to enjoy food again as everything tasted like garbage and I wasn't producing enough saliva to get it down. But I soon learned that people went anywhere from a few weeks to well over a year but did start eating again and here I am munching on an (Easter) egg salad sandwich and it tastes pretty good. As you've read this board you've no doubt seen everything from the scariest stuff that can happen to people now living fun and love filled lives years after their battles with cancer. But how ever many years out they are and however much life is going on for them, they still come back to this board to advise and inspire those still dealing with the immediate facts of cancer. Never feel afraid that you might sound like you're whining or negative or any such stuff here. you can whine, rant and rave and folks will always be supportive and caring. Good luck in your battle and come here often for any support and advice you need.
