Bobbie,
We all heal differently and your treatment ended fairly recently. I kept my PEG tube for 9 months after my radiation treatments ended. My ability to swallow returned slowly, more slowly than most. However one day I had lunch with a fellow who I met here, who finished treatment much later than I, and he was eating all kinds of stuff while I was eating mostly soup. Salty things taste good to me, as do some sweets like a good mousse, but other things that I used to love just don't turn me on anymore, like Cokes or coffee. Also I find that I don't really miss the stuff that I cannot eat, like popcorn or chocolate chip cookies. Since I know that I cannot eat it , it just does not appeal.

Keep up the good work, things do get better.
