Hello,
Let me introduce myself, my name is Traci and my father, Bob, age 66 has EC, diagnoised in Aug, sugery Dec 19th.
I can't seem to find an answer to the problem he is having. Everything taste horrible to him. Any food or liquid, has a horrible taste and he is only able to gag down a few bites. This seems to have developed after surergy. During chemo, it wasn't a problem. When he was finally able to go on a soft diet about 7 days after surgery, the food still had a pleasant taste. But for the past couple of weeks, he can barely eat a few bites.
Has anyone else experienced this and if so, is there anything he can do to enjoy food again? Is this a passing side effect or possibly a lasting one?
Dr's can't even seem to help, any info you kind folks could provide would be greatly appreciated. Physically and mentally, he is going downhill, and fast. I'm so worried about him!
Traci
