Hi all me again .
Still in the waiting room for results of last week's base of tongue biopsy operation, (due to see consultant 2nd October)but my silly question is can I still eat and drink what I want? Supposed to be going out for curry meal and a beer soon ,is this ok ?
Cheers sorry for the lame questions!
Yes go for it.

Absolutely go for it !
My oncologist (and the MacMillan Nurses) told me right at the start to do exactly that. In their words "eat as much crap you want" as it was all about building up calories and strength at the beginning.
I'd sell my soul right now for a curry !!!
My Christmas dinner was my last real meal that I enjoyed as I bit my tongue beginning of January and eating was painful from then on in. Biopsy Feb , head neck dissection march and RT may. Eating definitely isn't as joyful anymore. I get water blisters every single day now and they come out at exactly lunchtime and eating lunch is unbearable. Please God I get the taste for food again and can enjoy it. 14 weeks post RT now and it's still very hard. Eating meals out isn't enjoyable for now but maybe this time next year it will be a happy time again .
