OMG! Bob is really nervous about that too. He’s had a couple close calls that scared the heck out of both of us so I can imagine how you feel. Be patient with yourself and take baby steps. You’ll get there. He finished treatment Aug 1 so he’s a bit ahead of you. He’s been sticking to cream soups. So far, cream of chicken and butternut squash are the favorites (although he picks out the pieces of chicken in that one but it’s Campbell’s so no big loss). On Thanksgiving he made a valiant effort to try some other things but mashed potatoes with gravy was his limit. Everything else he had to spit out.
