I had my first appointment today and it appears to be clear.
I have lost 40 lbs so far (11 since treatment ened) so I have to keep my PEG and the dietitian is changing me from Fortisip to another higher protien drink as I don't have much muscle left.
It is still too early for a scan and there is a lot of radiation damage still to my throat and tongue but I am doing very well.
Am feeling really cheerful after this and am cooking my first meal in 3 months (plain beef cassarole), salt taste is back with a vengance.
Just need to get used to the dry mouth now and get stronger.
Love to all
Lynn
