That is wonderful news. You've been through such hell with the side effects from radiation. While lots of water is good, it doesn't have any calories. You need to find things you can drink or sip on all day that have calories. You might try apple juice or flat ginger ale, coffee with lots of cream and sugar or a beer. Acid things will burn for a while. Here's hoping you will be able to eat some more stuff soon.
Take care,
Eileen
