How great to hear such a wonderful update! Congrats on finishing your treatments. Since you are now 3 weeks post rads you should begin to slowly feel a little better day by day. You will occasionally have some lousy days but soon the good days will out weight the bad ones.

I eat cream of wheat almost every day. I add some butter and sugar to it and make mine with 2% milk. To make it more high calorie you could add some half and half to it. The better you are able to eat, the faster the peg tube will be gone. My docs said if I could go 2 months without using it then I could get rid of mine. You dont want to get rid of it before you are ready and could need another one put in. Good luck with relearning to eat. Another very easy food is canned peaches, they will slide right down with little effort.

Best wishes with your continued recovery!!!
