Throat cancer eating problems

Hi can any one suggest foods that dont taste like flour 2 weeks into radiotheraphy

  • Hi kal

    I'm afraid that all food and drink will taste weird, awful, not as expected, for quite a while, you may even lose your taste altogether (and I don't mean, wearing orange and green together)  Not looking forward to eating makes it difficult while you are trying to get enough calories in. However about a month after your treatment finishes your taste will start to return bit by bit. Kim

    also check out the thread virgin throat cancer sufferer, there are lots of other problems you will encounter over the next month or so and most have been covered here. Dry mouth, sore throat, radiation burns difficulty swallowing, losing weight food supplements etc. If you do need any help post back here. I finished my treatment 8 months ago and I am doing really well now. I can eat (and taste) most things. I hope this gives you some encouragement to complete your treatment. Kim
