Hello again,

I'm glad to hear your treatment is all going according to plan.

I'm sure someone who underwent the same course of treatment will be along soon.

Take care & hang on in there.

My husband is about to start his last week of radiotherapy, chemo finished last week. 
He wasn't told what stage he was, but we found out as it was on the letter that is sent to his GP which you should of had a copy of. Then Dr Google came in to play! 
but if your success rate is 90%, you have a great outcome. 
My husband had a peg fitted which he hated but when his mouth got sore and he couldn't manage to eat and drink He was pleased he had it. He has lost some weight and is now having fortisip drinks down the peg

but was wondering what sort of things to eat that want burn I've not really eaten now for 4 days x

Damn this throat stuff!!

you got covid too. Goodness! As if you haven't enough to cope with! 
Have you tried milk based things like custard or rice pudding. If you are still having problems. Have the hospital given you phone numbers for help and advice?

HunOh dear that's  .....  covid and cancer. How far into treatment are you I do know where you are  coming from inwas towards=end of week 3 when I just couldn't swallow. You can try poached eggs they tend to slip down, what I did was in the Monday see dietician and insisted  that a ng feedingbtube was put in. It was a lifesaver for me all my meds water and feed went via the tube. Intoo was given the med to help you swallow it didn't help. Are you on sufficient pain  killers don't codomol , oramorph etc.  you may need your  pain meds looking at as well.lTs a long slog , don't stress about missing chemo it's a top uo to the main treatment of radiotherapy . i was down for 3 x10 hour sessions but my last one I cancelled min conjunction with oncologist l

Do try getting in touch with hospotaomit hard on a weekend. 
You can also try the hugh calorie food supplements ensure or fortisip if yiu have them or supermarkets sell complan worth a try. Yiu need hydration and nutrition by any means you can.

Good luck Hazel
