Thanks for the response. This whole ordeal has been very rough for my father and for me as well. I have been his only support thru out this whole thing. I encourage my father daily about keeping positive and that things will get better. He says he has lost complete taste to everything, he said it wouldn't be so bad if he couldn't smell things but he can. I've encouraged the ensure from day one. He told me told he is finished with chemo treatments. When he was first diagnosed the doctor gave him an option of radiation/chemo or to remove his tongue, lower jaw and dissect the right lymph node. That was a devestating thought. I could really go on and on about this whole thing. I have learned so much on this subject. You see my father does not have insurance nor does he work so it was tough getting him the help he needed, needless to say, i worked day and night working to find someone to help. I found a website called cancer fund of america. They send him free stuff on a monthly basis. Anyone who has cancer should really check out that website.

take care
