Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 71 | Just completed chemo and radiation 1/27/08. I can swallow fine but only swallow to take pills. Otherwise, I'm using my peg. Mouth is not terribly dry.
Radiation burns just started to peel and i'm wondering what treatments work best. I'm also wondering how long it will be before i can start eating something!! I know it's different with everyone, but i'm getting tired of pumping food through a tube. Also, what foods should i try first? It won't be Ensure!
