Two and half weeks ago my Dad who is 79, finished 7 weeks of intensive radio therapy treatment for throat and tonsil cancer. He was brilliant through the treatment, very determined to fight it and did all he could to resist going ontot he feeding tube, until he absolutely had to in the last week of treatment. However since finishing treatment he says he cannot eat anything at all as its too painful and seems to think the feeding tube is his answer to everything.  I know he hates the fact that he cant taste anything but I am concerned that he has lost his spirit to get better and he is losing weight fast.  I dont want to pressure him into eating if it hurts, but I know he needs more than just ensure, has anyone got any ideas of what food we can try that might have a bit of taste, I think that would help him as he loved his food before all this started. Be glad to hear especially from people who have had this cancer themselves. Thanks a worried daughter.
