I'm so glad to hear all of these suggestions of foods. My sister is a little over two weeks into a six week tx plan. She has lost some taste, but some sense of taste remains at this point. I understand that all taste will vanish soon. Can someone explain more about why meat is a no go for a while after treatment? How does one get protein? We are already struggling some with making sure she gets enough protein. The nutritionist recommended 50-75 grams/day for her.
Sister, age 24, dx SCC 3/5/09, Stage IV T3N2M0, HPV-, 6x induction chemo (Cetuximab (Erbitux), Carboplastin, Taxol), 1/4 tongue removed and left modified radical neck dissection 5/14/09, started IMRT 7/7/09, 30tx, finished 8/14/09
