Hello again to everyone
I am now three weeks past my last radiation treatment I still cant swollow or eat anything much I mmanage to get a couple of mouthfulls of water in but thats about it. I was wondering how long it tool most of you to start eating again and what did you eat or drink at the end of all the treatments. any tips on what to try will help alot. I am getting very fustrated that I cannot drink or eat. I still have a lot of white mucus and some welting on the soft pallet throat and tounge this is what is causing most of my discomfort. I also seen the radioligest and it sounded like he was planting the seed for a operation he said that the node in my neck has shrunk to less than 25% of it's originiol size but it's not as small as he would like it said it has to be gone and we will wait a few weeks more and decide on the surgery. anyway if any one could tell me what they started to drink or eat after radiation to give to give me more energey it would be great Thanks for all your replys
