Gramma...as you well know, everyone is different but my Bill ended his treatments on October 1, 2007 and was eating just fine by Thanksgiving. His taste buds were not working wonderfully but I wooed him with giblet gravey and pumpkin pie...he ate it!

You are not invisible to those of us here...give it some time and you will get several responses from all the wonderful people here who have walked this path.

Keep trying to swallow....very important to keep that working even if it hurts.

Best to you in your recovery!
