Hi Jen,
pizza was the first thing on my solid food list and it was about 1 month after treatment ended that I ate it, along with a Ceasar salad. It tasted great. I did eat some rare cooked steak prior to that. I had my first burger around 2 months.


I work at home so I had the luxury of being able to slowly phase back in. I would say allow yourself a good three months, maybe more. It really did take 6 months to feel somewhat normal again. There is always a risk of going back too soon.

I didn't have a feeding tube, lost 60 lbs and a lot of muscle/strength so that may have played a role. I am eating like a horse today, have gained over 20 lbs back and I'm lifting weights.

Everyone is a little different and reacts differently to treatment.
