Hi

I would like some help.  My husband has been given the all clear for tongue cancer. Was diagnosed in Feb this year, finished 30 rounds of radio, 6 rounds of chemo in April its been brutal.  Two infection, one really bad his infection rate was 176. He was told on Thursday 14th Nov by the consultant he will never be able to open his mouth properly, he was very angry with the news. 

That was the only thing he wished for to be able to eat properly and open his mouth.  The speech therapist has given him a therabit (think that's how you spell it).  He uses it twice a day his mouth has opened  slightly but not enough.

She has asked him to continue with this.  They are going to do a CT on the side of his mouth where the cancer was to see how it has effected the bone.  I am struggling with what to given him to eat.  He has soft foods soup, cake with lots of cream on, mince doesnt seem to like it with mash,   Does anyone have any ideas for me that will make him enjoy his food.  He is still on the the fortisips 6 a day been told since last week not to put them in the peg has to drink them orally which he is.  

He does'nt go out apart  walking the dog once a day, play golf once a week has to have a  buggy, therefore there is not contact with people.  He was a very social person but not now.  Is there anything I can do to encourage him.

Thank you
