Finished rads for my tongue cancer and lymph nodes Wednesday, and I'm sure glad that's behind me. Up until about a week ago I was able to eat cream soups (with solids blended well) and Boost/Ensure, and the best was egg drop soup from my favorite Chinese restaurant. Then I started coughing from what felt like dry spots in my throat, which often led to gagging, and then sometimes dry heaves or throwing up what little was there. Then I couldn't get anything thickish down at all without gagging.
Now the thought of anything thick makes me ill. I am drinking plenty of water with Juven protein powder, and have been able to get down chicken broth and keep it down. The coughing and gagging are better today, and I so hope that in the next day or 2, I won't get sick just thinking of milkshakes, Boost, and cream soup. Any suggestions?
