So, I took charge and tried won ton soup the other night now that I am 5 weeks post treatment and actually got 3 fairly large dumplings down with broth without choking to death. It was very foreign and I struggled with chewing a bit but got it down. It just felt dry and slow but it went down, I took a break since that day and continued on with ol' PEG like normal while considering other options. I am so damn ready to start eating so I can get this tube removed. I noticed this morning some white patches on parts of my tongue but havent had thrush since middle of treatment. I still clean my mouth daily with salt/baking soda and also brush my teeth, maybe the won ton scorched me? Well, I hope it is not thrush returning, Korinne says my breath does not stink like thrush so maybe it is just some sort of healing process. But anyways, I just wanna get motivated to find foods to eat, I have my appetite back because I get the stomache rumbles every few hours....

Your Friend,
Nathan
