Who knows how these things will go Michael. My Onc said I would get a sore throat and have to go on liquids in around 3-4 weeks. I got it in 8 days. As for the heartburn as long as I could swallow them I took a Zantak 150 in the morning and one around 6 in the evening.
Hope you feel better and no I will not sent you a tub of buttercream icing just because you like to eat it without cake.

Well maybe after you get well I will.

My son could not live without a bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough at least every 3 months. LOL
God bless and give you comfort and strength,
