Sorry hazel ment week 5. Also added some more to my post lol 

Hi it is hard and these next few weeks it doesn't get any easier. No use saying it does .  But keep up the calories by whatever means you can. My mantra was food is fuel if  you can get your head round that and forget  about any pleasure from it you'll get there quicker. 6 weeks post treatment you turn a corner by 12 weeks another corner. You need to remember the treatment continues to work once you've had your last session your body's at a peak of chemo and radiation it then slowly leeches out if yiu hence food is fuel mantra. 
good  luck week 5

Week 5 nearly over 6 days left yay.  Does Anybody no How many weeks it takes until can taste food again. I'm hoping to I will be able to eat my Xmas dinner and taste it ????

Hi well done. I finished treatment  31 august and mansged a small Christmas dinner and tasted it. We are all different the best way I  found was to treat food as fuel forget any pleasure for a while  Use your food  supplement sas your main calorie intake and gradually increase food as you can 

good Luck Hazel

Thats how I was at the end of the treatment and stayed that way for a good few weeks after, we are all a bit different but it slowly gets better, the E45 cream I was precribed for the skin on my neck actually kept the wound slightly open and didnt start to heal until I stopped using it. End of treatment was the worst time but keep going things will improve.

Hi. Remember once treatment finished your skin won't burn anymore ask fir polymem bandages or flamazine cream. Once you've finished internally the treatment keeps working fir several more weeks. So prepare to hunker down I slept a lot but kerp kn too if hydration and nutrition yiu need both to help recover. It's not easy but it's worth it. 
good luck Hazel 

Hi, the mucus thing is a positive, but horrible side effect, it does pass, but not nice to go through. If not  for the guys on this page i would have not known about it, so no need to stress, perfectly normal after so much radiation.

Hazel rightly says rest, hydration and nutrition, anyway you can, i had porrridge twice a day, yoghurt, full fat, ice cream too, and eggs, any type fried or scrambled. If you are on the feeding  tube then you can get   right on to this type of nutrition  soon as you are able,after removal,  as it is vital.  Best wishes, Graeme.

 PS,  As for the burns, we all have varying degrees, i got a cream called Radiocare, expensive but really worked.

Hi thanks for reply. I can eat nothing I'm having high does on throat so food is a no no. I can manage the odd sip of water. I'm getting off my nutrition through my peg tube 6 shakes a day
