My personal experience was.
Finished treatment on Dec. 6, Was able to eat on Jan 29. I had a VERY inflamed mouth from the radiation, 5fu, and radiation bouncing off my fillings. I had my neck disection on Jan 31, and they removed the peg the day after since I was eating.
The first thing I was able to get down was oatmeal.
All experiences are different. I do hope that his recovery is quicker than mine.
Stve
SCC, base of tongue, 2 lymph nodes, stage 3/4. 35 X's IMRT radiation, chemo: Cisplatin x 2, 5FU x2, & Taxol x2. Hooray, after 3 years I'm in still in remission.
