I am a five year survivor of oral Spindle CC left mandible (no Chemo/Radiation). Recently had surgery (4/30/20) for oral Squamous CC on left tounge. Removed 1/3 of tounge. Completed 33 radiation treatments 7/10.Managed not to have a feeding tube put in. I was a large guy so I had weight that I could loose. I could eat solid food until 6/10, and have been on a liquid diet since then. Lost 50 pounds. 25 pounds with surgery & 25 with radiation.
I am a Chef by trade and I'm hoping my taste buds return. They say I should be back to solid food in 3 to 6 weeks.
