Hi Kellie,
If I'm not mistaken your sister is only about a month out from the end of radiation. I didn't really eat anything at this stage, I kept using my tube. Each day I would try some soup or something like that but it was very difficult. I ended radiation July 15th 2003 and that Thanksgiving I was able to eat a tiny bit of the meal. I found that soups and potatoes worked well and I am one of the few that could handle the carbonated drinks. I would eat what I could and keep my nutrition up with the tube.
I LOVED chocolate Krispy Kreme donuts, I ate the heck out of those things!
The most frustrating thing for me was that after a few bites anything I was eating would lose it's flavor.
Now, over a year past radiation, I taste everything and the flavor stays with each bite.
Tell your sister to eat what she can and use the tube to make up for what she cannot get by mouth.
Minnie
