20 weeks Post Treatment What to Eat?
I'm twenty weeks post radiation (35 sessions) for tonsil cancer. Doing well and back to living my life except for eating. I still can only eat very soft or liquid foods. Soup broth, protein shakes, yogurt etc. No bread or anything solid. I have totally come to terms with this and if I have to live the rest of my life like this it's definitely better than the alternative. But a pepperoni pizza somewher in my future wouldn't be a bad thing 🙂
Just wondering if any others are in a similar place and what they are eating.

My dear husband went thru chemo and radiation and finished about 20 months ago. His pharyngeal cancer was gone. But he could not eat most foods, very difficult to swallow. It never got any better. Now, as of a month ago we have found out he has esophageal cancer. He’s been told he’ll be gone from us within six months. I believe it will be much less than that. This diagnosis came out of nowhere and we are all in shock…
His journey was totally awful after his third week of radiation. He is 78 years old and chose not to fight it this time. He is now getting himself ready to leave us. I am so sad to report this. We didn’t t expect this ending at all.
Keep the faith dear people.
