I had 30 rounds of radiation and finished July 2023. It was a struggle to eat during radiation and a few months after and I FORCED myself. I lost appetite and everything had no taste. I ate soft creamy foods for about 3 months once radiation stopped and then slowly back to normal foods. Crunchy sharp food items hurt on the way down. One year out of treatment I could eat and drink about anything I wanted. My taste buds were back to about 90% , My throat mucositis has almost gone away, Saliva production 90% and My stamina is back to about 90. Two years out now today and I can eat ANYTHING.. Hang in there. Spicy foods are waiting! God Speed
