Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to read that you're struggling to eat. That must make things very difficult for you.
I can see that you've already found and joined the head and neck cancer group and I'm sure if you start a new post there you'll find others willing to share their eating experiences with you. Clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there when you're ready to post. You can also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'
It would be great if you could pop something about your journey with cancer into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help.
