Hi everyone. I am two weeks post radiation and chemo treatments tomorrow. Still hanging in there - a little fatigued at times and still having a tough time reintroducing solid foods.

Since I’m still losing a bit of weight, yesterday I was resolved to start eating solid foods despite a sore mouth and throat and, really, no appetite to speak of. I started with a scrambled egg and a half slice of toast. Mistake. Shortly after consuming a couple of bites, I was (sort of violently) ill.

Have others had the same difficulty reintroducing solid foods? It was a bit rattling.
