Swallowing and eating is going fine. Bread, and as I discovered yesterday, the good old doughnut, is still a problem. As long as everything is fairly moist I can eat it, albeit not too much.
Had a stir fry last night with Keeley, Chris & the kids and it went down pretty well. Bit of a sore throat afterwards. This is probably due to the 'newness' of the skin in my throat which is sensitive to the seasoning in the food, and is also being effected by the coughing that I have to employ to regularly clear my throat.
Progress in the last month has been remarkable, but we are still only a short 4 months past the end of my treatment, so my throat, taste buds, saliva glands, tongue and neck are still traumatised by the radiotherapy and it will probably be a good few months yet until things return properly to normal.
Great news! And well done on continuing to document the slow progress back to normal life, I am sure it is very encouraging to other people in similar situations.
