Keep going!

Great post. Pizza and chips is worth fighting for. You can't get that down a PEG 

My Bêtes Noir were Avocado and Baileys. I used to love both. It took me a year to enjoy an avocado/mozzarella/tomato salad and two years to taste a Baileys than wasn't reminiscent of diesel. Food gradually became a pleasure and it will to all of you just starting out

Haven’t tried alcohol yet!

I could do an ale pretty quickly. Three months. You could try a Guiness 

Wine was tricky for a couple of years. Don’t bother with it these days. Prefer a decent beer. 

Hi Blod, a great post, it shows those coming along behind us, that this can be done, and we can feel normal again. I had a RIG which was a lifesaver for me, I couldn't eat after 3 weeks of treatment. I too am grateful to my RIG, I call my scar, my bullet hole. It's great to see you doing so well.

Ray. 

Thanks for the encouragement Blod! I'm on the opposite end of this process only having completed 4/35 RT and 1/7 chemo for both taonsils, soft palate and giant lymph. Found my appetite and tastes have changed which saddens me as eating together with husband and friends always used to be a pleasure. I'm not nearly at needing an NG or G tube yet, but am increasingly willing if I must. Met a guy in RT who remimded me of Colonel Sanders ( lke the guy from the chicken franchise) who was completing 33/35 who was doing pretty well and had avoided any tubes, despite a sort throat. His cancer may have been diffeerent and he had no chemo as he was aged 78 at start of treatment and opted not to have it. Anyway, it put me in a good mood to see him so cheerful and doing well despite a very very quiet voice... One day I too hope to eat a meal like you show in your photo!

Thanks!!
