Hi, My name is Shari. I was diagnosed with stage 3 squameous cell carcinoma on Feb 21st. I had surgery on March 3 and had 1/4 of my tongue removed and 36 lympnods in my neck 6 of the nods were positive.

I completed 33 daily treatments of radiation on May 19th. I can swallow water- it actually tastes kinda good, as does grape gatorade. A mint tums in the water, makes it taste great.

I am relying 95% on my peg tube using 5 cans of Probalance, but am anxious to try and find pureed foods and liquids which have some taste besides sour metal.. Anyone out their have tips?

Thanks for listening,
