Leena,

Congrats on eating "real" food! I know just how big a victory that is. Although I've been out of treatment (total glossectomy, chemo and 37 rad treatments) for 7 months, I just began eating solid food. I'm able to get down one small meal a day supplemented with liquid nutrition. It's not an easy task - takes a lot of determination, patience and practice but I'm doing it! So I believe you'll be eating that Christmas ham and mashed potatoes before the Christmas season is upon us! Keep up the good work.

Hugs, Nancy
