Half way through radiation and after my first chemo I got thrush so bad I could not talk or open my mouth. It was very painful and put me in the hospital for a few days. Over the course of this I have been in hopital 3 times. I got out a week ago from my longest stay 3 and half weeks. It was very hard to be "in" during the Christmas season.
I am hopeful my taste buds will return and saliva will be back too. The doctors say it is such an individual thing so I hope:) This has definetly been a hard journey.
I have all my teeth and the pain is very tolerable right now. No where near the pain of the tumor...that was PAIN!
I get these urges to try foods, sometimes I am surprised at the little taste I am getting and sometimes it is VERY frustrating to have say Egg Nog taste like melted butter...yuch! That is the most aggrivating thing right now, not being able to eat. As appetizing as Resource 2.0 is, it is no burger:(
Thanks for the warm welcome and I hope to find others here with similar experiences:) Take Care!!!
