I'm sorry to hear you are starting to struggle with your treatments. Hopefully your ENT will have some encouraging news when they look you over, and this is just a small temporary setback.
Even if its starting to get difficult to eat, keep pushing food and liquids. Eat as much as you can, it will make your recovery much easier if you get proper nutrition.
Best of luck,
