Hello everyone! I am new to this message board. My father was diagnosed with tounge cancer about a year and a half ago. He did not opt for the operation, however they did take off the tumor on the bottom of his tounge,along with all his teeth in his mouth. He went through two treatments on chemo,which he did for a week straight while staying in the hospital. Also went for 35 days of radiation. Even though it has been a little over a year now...he still will only drink his Ensure. He did have a feeding tube, which they have long taken out. I keep trying to get him to try different things, but he says his mouth is just too dry to swallow. Has anyone else had this problem? And if so, do you know of anything he can do? Foods he can try, etc? He seems to have given up all hope of ever eating again. By the way, he is going to be 70 this month. Thanks for your help.
