Ep 5 It's not about the cookbook but the recipe. Physical & mental constraints we experience as HNC patients.

* I am not a medical professional but I am a lived experience patient*💜 Before this horrible journey started I was a very social person. I was ( or had been) an event manager, worked in and around food and wine all my career, and even turned down an audition opportunity for MasterChef here in Australia.  I had Head & Neck Cancer (subsequent treatment) and a PEG tube feeder in my stomach for over a year. I didn't eat orally for 15 months. Episode 5 - It's not about the cook book but the recipe!
