You are all more junior compared to me. Now that I am almost 3 years post treatment, there are still minor ulcers along both sides of my tongue,which I think will never go away. When I am occupied, I don't feel their existence but when I eat or use mouthwash, I know they are there.I can't tolerate anything spicy, not even slight pepper. I don't miss such food since I still have a lot of choices. Steak is fine but make sure it goes with the right sauce. I can swallow almost anything around 4 or 5 months post treatment and I have never had a feeding tube. Be patient, we have a different schedule for recovery, some take a longer route and some shorter.

Karen.
