Hi Tom, welcome to the Gueule Cassees ( broken faces) no one here speaks about pain, but we all know about it with a capital P; and with Christmas coming, when you cannot taste anything and wine tastes like battery acid, we have to all think positive, and in my case, things are slowly slowly improving, but all takes time; Try to keep positive, I know how hard it can be, and people can be tough and quite rude. Courage mon Brave !

Tom, where do you live out there in Pahrump? We lived in the Cottonwoods off of Hafen Ranch Road. How long have you lived out there..When did you get CANCER? How much have you had done.Talk to us so we can all get to know you. Always Vicki Lynn

Somebody let me know if I'm doing this right..When I read an email,I reply to post..Is that right..Sorry to be so computer ignorant..Thanks again to all who I have heard from..And will convey info anf feelings to all and one..Thanks Tom in Pahrump

Sharing..I am now going to try to eat scrambled eggs and sausage (sp?) with lots of country gravey..It starts out ok then usually gets so dry can't eat anymore..But I am trying as all of You must be..Having an Ensure just in case..Boy are they expensive..Happy Monday..Tom in Pahrump

Hi Tom, you have to keep drinking loads of water with everything, try stewed fruit with lots of cream on it goes down well, courgettes in omlettes work well.
Keep on writting remember we know what it is like. Try to get a juicer, the American Chapion is best, and try to get loads of vitamins in, carrot celery, etc. Keep writing. Garance

I do eat more veggies and fruit than before...Right now dealing with a tooth ache somewhere in my mouth??..Hope You are well,hows the weather there?..Raining here,just got back from getting our Christmas tree..Wished I could eat all the holiday goodies,,but alas,,have to watch...Stay happy and well Tom

Hi Tom, FOOD OMG
I go to the Market and Supermarket and see all this wonderful food I cannot eat come home fed up.
See people in the Restaurants eating and people walking down the street with sandwiches ect
It really makes me envious

Hi Tom, I too have constant toothache, I clean every bit of the mouth well and have little brushes for in between the teeth but gums and somewhere always hurts; you must try to clean them, and put gel on gums when you go to bed. slow cooked stews go down well, before this I only like crisp crunchy well done things, now it's slops and more slops, but am putting on some weight. Try not to have too many sweet things as it will hurt your teeth.
