Hi All

i hope you are all as well as can be.

i finished treatment on 13th May & currently feeding through a rig. When would you try eating again & what do you suggest trying? I don’t think I could stomach the thought of soup! Any advice gratefully received x

many thanks - Sue x

  • Hi Sue,

    When you say “treatment” do you mean surgery or chemo? When I started eating again after my op, it was blended soups (sorry), full fat yoghurts, soft cheesy scrambled eggs, runny cottage pie (made with finely minced beef), M&S custard etc. Anything with plenty of calories. Good luck, CB

  • Hi CB

    Thank you for replying & I should have been clearer about my treatment.

    I had four rounds of chemo & 25 sessions of radiotherapy. I was able to eat all those things you mentioned until radiotherapy made it impossible to try anything without bringing up what I can only describe as white foam. Almost scared to try anything now, but I need to put some weight back on, so will slowly make a start. Thanks again!
