    Not Ready

    I tried a little white wine at a party two weeks ago (8 weeks post Tx) and it burnt the heck out of my throat. I love wine but I'll wait a while before I try that again! However, I read a few posts where a glass of wine was enjoyed via a PEG tube. I have mine until August...Hmmmmm

    Tried again

    12 weeks post treatment...

    Tried a cabernet.... wonderful bouquet and flavor.... that is AFTER THE BURN SUBSIDED! ~lol~

    No go on wine..... :(

    But the burn should

    But the burn should eventually go away when your throat is no longer sore. 12 weeks out is still very early. Also too early to judge whether saliva will come back - my doctor yesterday told me that mine may not even start to come back until 6 months out.
