I agree that you need to eat anything and everything you can in between the surgery and start of radiation. Radiation takes the fun out of eating. I finished on July 10th and I still use my tube although I make sure to experiment with one type of food each day.
Question: Did anyone have any trouble with their ears after radiation?? I read somewhere that radiation can make the wax harden can cause pain in the ears. Is this true?
Thanks! Minnie
