I just finished treatment two weeks ago, radiation twice a day and chemo one day. I am using feeding tube, my mouth has so many sores. Would like to talk to anyone who has gone through this, how long did it take to get back to eating regular food, how long before you had tube taken out and anything in general would be helpful - thanks
