Linda, About halfway through my treatments I could not longer eat solid food. I didn't even want it, it was too much work to eat. I lived on liquid dietary supplements like Ensure (except I bought the store brand because they were cheaper). It didn't matter what they tasted like except I preferred vanilla because it seemed to have a better texture. I lived on this liquid diet for several months. I started back on solids with creamy soups and pasta. You need to eat to heal. My doctor told me I had to eat to get better and I made the effort because I really wanted to get better as soon as possible. I got my appetite back about a month and a half after treatments ended. You need to get into the texture of the food while you have no taste. Serve yourself on your good dishes and appreciate the appearance and texture of the food. You seem to have a good attitude about your radiation and that is what got me through it. Welcome those beams of radiation into your body don't resent them. They are what will kill any cancer that might be in there. If you lose taste buds and salivary glands along the way it is worth it! Hand in there. You will get through this. I am celebrating my one year anniversary of finishing treatments and being cancer free this week. I feel great. (I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer of the tonsil.) Rainey
