The process happened over a long period of time. The lymph nodes were taken out but the doctors at the VA hospital couldn't find the origin of the cancer.

Because of that, I wouldn't let them treat my whole neck and head. I turned to alternative medicine. After a year the doctors did another biopsy and found it at the base of my tongue. Since they could pinpoint and direct the radiation, I agreed.

The loss of tastebuds,saliva glands,etc. happened slowly over time. The dieticians said to eat high caloric foods and gave me a supply of ensure.

I was hoping for ideas to trigger my appetite, foods I haven't tried, something to make me hungry. Once, someone suggested I smoke pot to trigger my appetite, but for me that is not an option.
