Will I be able to eat again after radiation to my neck and head?

I know exactly how the feel mentally and physically .
I am one year out from radiation for squamous cell carcinoma, head and neck cancer. Basically the same cancer that Jim Kelly had but his was a lot worse .
Dry mouth , continuous phlegm, no taste/ bad taste.
No appetite / nausea. Not saying you will experience the same side effects for that long .
My question is are you getting any feedback about your side effects from the radiation doctor or the surgeon. Assuming you had surgery .

@ernierogersquamus123 The feed back I get is well , if you still have this after radiation then you’re gonna have it. Not what I wanted to hear. I didn’t have to have surgery as I was already in stage three when I was diagnosed. The cancer passed the midline of my tongue becoming inoperable. I have developed numbness on both arms only on the bottom from my armpit to my wrist.I was told it may come back or it may not. Now I have seizures which I never had before. It’s taken away a lot of my independence.
