Like Joanna, I also had IMRT and I am able to eat (or drink) mild salsa, mayonnaise, some salad dressings, coke, and a cranberry with fresh lemon and seltzer, after only 80 days out from treatment. I find that the carbonation helps to clear my throat and also helps with swallowing which has not been the same since treatment.
