Hi
I am 7 months post radiation and chemo for cancer in my left tonsil. I used a PEG tube from my second week into treatment and only became able to eat a couple of months ago. I also used salt and baking soda rinses during treatment for mouth sores; however, anything I eat now that is salted taste almost gritty w/ salt. I use very little salt now - of course, other food items taste extra spicy also (I used to love hot and spicy) even ketchup almost burns my tongue. I have finally come to the conclusion that my eating will never be quite the same post radiation.
