Eating

Simone,

Endure the side-effects--   complete the regimen.

Look forward to ability to swallow normally again--  perhaps after 10 sessions of radiation.

Thanks for that fingers crossed it will work out 

Hi

I could not even swallow liquid after chemoradiation and was fed entirely by tube.

However, I underwent a series of oesophageal stretches which involved an endoscopy every 3 weeks for months.

Gruelling but worth it! I can swallow most food now with a few exceptions and no tube.

You have made wonderful progress--   I wish you continued improvement. 

(My experience with chemo/rad for my oesopphagus cancer was totally different, but I, too, made progress,  Every cancer case is unique.)

Savor every swallow on the road to health and happiness.

Oh and I will recommend Wiltshire Foods who do a good selection of easy to eat meals, even some special pureed meals and deliver free. I found them useful and their puddings such as crumbles are scrumptious even when your appetite is poor during treatment.

Hello Sim10

Best advice I ever had and my Wife did for me was to buy a handblender. This meant i could have whatever the rest of the family were having and whatever i fancied. Sunday roast or a curry :)

I'm just passed 3 yrs since diagnosis at T3N2M0....in September i will be 3 years post op. My Chemo was 2 lots of ECX pre and post op.
