Bacon sandwich

Hi Mark. That timeline is about right.

I had Gelclair, Difflam and Caphosol. 
Somebody recommended coconut oil to me but long after I needed it. It might be worth trying A teaspoon or so swirled around your mouth for a few minutes then spit. 
Soluble aspirin used the same way did help me. 
Keep going

What an excellent title for a thread Mark, but I'm sorry to hear your relationship with bacon sandwiches has become temporarily platonic, it'll be back to carnal lust before you know it!

All about par for the course I'm afraid, soluble aspirin was marvellous for me, especially when I couldn't swallow tablets. I think Dani's covered the usual suspects medication wise....very best of luck with everything.

So pleased at least your RIG infection is clearing, you certainly have had it rough.

bacon sandwich now tastes of zero has texture of cardboard and hurts my sore gums!!

. . . and that is just a true tragedy!!  I love a good bacon butty with tomato sauce.  I do hope your taste improves quickly after your treatments have finished.  Thinking of you.  Take care.

Hi Mark

Tough going but it will soon pass and you will be on your way to recovery, enjoyment of food should return in time... bacon, scrambled egg and grilled sweet vine tomatoes were my first brekkies after starting back on solids...HP sauce came later,

Peter

That's good to know Peter.

Thank you 

Hi Spider! I too just finished week 2 of 2X day RT. Back of throat (my poor uvula is gone! - cells invaded the poor thing), "Fred" the tumor is on my left side maybe jawline over? and getting "zapped" also in my lymphs for extra measures as it's getting the edges of what could be. 

Sorry to hear about your bacon sammy. I'm from the US and LOVE my "toasted cheese".. lol ~ I think you call them 'toasties'. Tomato sauce sounds weird but we do tomato soup to dip them in. I still have taste but tomato & spices, which I love, are a bit ouchie.. I have mouth rinse for the ulcers and "Magic Mouth" (diphenhydrAMINE) which has a numbing agent.

We can do this!

HubMark Just concurring what the others have said the love of food can go overnight in my case it was dayb7  of radiotherapy bi went from happily eating tea t( day before to bang I couldnt get my lamb casserole down ni matter how I tried. Soluble aspirin swirled round and spat out helped a little p. By end if week 3 I was using my ng tube for everything whilst managing to  about sip water. I a years time it will all be like a bad dream.  I also started on cocodomol and oramorph Good luck for this week.
