Gosh, Zenda, thanks for that encouragement. It really helped. I am trying to eat somehting, even a small amount, by mouth every day now. But teh simplest things still seem beyond me! I tried purred squash last night, but (I gues because it does have a lot of fiber and didn't have any oil in it), when it got in my mouth it tunred into this dry lump of fiber almost immediately adn I had to spit most of it out

Tonight I am going to try some spinach souffle, moxed with extra olive oil first. If it passes the doesn't clog up on the roof of my mouth test, I can usually swallow small bites but can only do about 6 or 7 small bites before the throat area that is sire starts to hurt more. I am taking "Oxydose" before trying to eat but at a very small dose--I don't want to increase the dose just to be able to eat more right now.

If it's OK, I may email you if I keep having problems finding things that work. I really need some daily encouragement about this and my husband is pretty indifferent at this point. By the way, I finshed my rad/chemo, the end of the first week in June so I think I'm only a week and 1/2 behind you, although obviously more so in the eating department.

Nelie
