Hi!, I'm new and have never been involved in any forum of any kind so this a first. I don't know why I started here, but I guess I'm angry, so I took a look. I am an 8yr survivor of Adinoid Cystic Carcanoma, of my right poratid gland..I still can't spell any of it right. Anyway I was 51 when it all started. I had radical neck resection and a bunch of other stuff I don't even remember, (I'll have to bone up)followed with some pretty horrific radiation treatments. I lost all my teeth at about the yr 2 point, and couldn't wear the full dentures that cost thousands of dollars. I have chronic pain, and discovered a new cancer (on my tongue) in Juanuary (also a story for another time-can't eat al all now) But let me tell you this, time is an amazing healer, as the old adage says. By the 4th or 5th yr I was eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and last year discovered popcorn again! What a high that was! This just a small portion of my story which I'll post in the other place. I just wanted you to know that you must keep experimenting, and spit out what dosen't work, remember not to choke yourself though-croaking from choking would defeat the purpose (lol) Am I angry about all this? You bet, and I'll be looking for help from all, but not on your time. Every now and then, look back and see how far you've come. Hope I helped, Nan-z
