Jennifer, I have no idea what treatment your husband received to beat his tonsil cancer. Mine was quite similar to his and underwent intensive chemo-radiation. Although time for recovery varies from individuals, I consider it rather 'unusual' if your husband is still on Ensure after over a year. Has he tried semi-solid food, like congee or cereal? I was able to take fish congee very soon after finishing treatment and had it three times a day for a couple of months. Soup could be more difficult because it might cause choking. Has your husband consulted any medical advice about nutrition? Whether he can take the food is more important than whether he likes it or not at this stage. Sometimes, we have no choice and strenghthening our body is the top priority. Do ask your husband to read some of the posts on this forum about eating issues.
