I’m desperately looking for advice! My mother has tongue cancer, and has had her chemo and radiotherapy, this was finished in November last year. She’s has quite a few visits to the hospital due to poor nutrition and dehydration issues. The severe number one issue is eating… she currently has a peg feeding tube, but is unable to eat anything other than a few mouthfuls of soup here and there. Even rice pudding will make her choke. She’s very depressed as she feels she should be able to eat more solids by now… anyone able to tell me how long it takes to be able to eat solids again?! How many months after treatment should she be able to swallow properly and eat again? I just wish I knew what to do!
