My husband has just started treatment, consisting of chemo once a week for 4 weeks, and radiotherapy for four and a half weeks every day, excluding weekends, then surgery.

My problem is what to cook can anyone please help me. I do have a blender and food processor   

Can any of you good people reading this give me some ideas. Thankyou

    My dad suffers with throat cancer, the best thing for him was liquid foods or soft foods. 

    Any food with lots and lots of gravy with mash, which was soft and not alot of chewing. I dont know if its different but he had a dry mouth and needed it to be liquid to swallow.
