LOL Gary, thank you for all the replies. My husband is in the final treatment stages 1 chemo today hopefully and 3 radiation left. Tuesday he gets the trach out (it fall out once already) and currently can only drink MILK. He is having a hard time swallowing now. He has a feed tube and has been encouraged to increase the amount of Nutren. Hopefully he gets his taste back ASAP. He is going to try Zinc Lozenges after the treatment is completed to increase his taste buds.
He needs to put on 15 lb. anyway. Thanks again. Carol...
