I am almost 2 months out from my radiation tx. My mouth is still sore and I am having trouble getting back to eating. I have a PEG so I am getting nutrition, but I want to get rid of the tube. I know everyone is different, but I am looking for advise on how to eat through the pain. How did some of you handle having mouth pain and making yourself eat? Any tips or advise would be appreciated.
