Thank you Christine for your advice. It is a blessing to get to know others who have been through it and can offer suggestions. Today I tried the peanut butter chocolate shake. I am having trouble with mucous and have trouble with dairy but I did it any way.Did it feel unhealthy to you at first? I love salads and fresh foods but I also had to lose teeth and I am sad about that. I asked my oncologist for scopolamine patches to dry secretions so hopefully it will kick in. Now I read (of course, now) about products on the market to prevent mucositis but didn't even think to ask about it because I was meticulous with oral care and also used magic mouthwash. Has anyone tried the products like Gelclair or Mugard that you know of? Is it too late to ask my oncologist for it now? It does help to hear that
recovery is still pretty fresh and that this is just another day of radiation normality. Wouldn't it be wonderful to go to a center that cooks all the right foods for you, cheer you on, and has a doctor ready to answer questions? I'm so glad to have found all of you.
