I decided that Oral,
Head and Neck patients, caregivers, survivors and medical personnel couldn't
wait for me to complete all 100 recipes - we need help now. I decided to BLOG
and create a FaceBook page to keep me motivated to complete the task. http://jeffscotthoyland.blogspot.com/
Seven years ago, I had
tongue cancer and I had a stomach peg. My wife, Randi, and I created Stomach
Peg Original Soup™ -SPOS. 2014, I discovered I had Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma
(ACC). I opted to not have a stomach peg, but I still needed to make sure I got
my nutrition.
My jaw muscle on the
treatment side tightened to the point where I could barely chew. Everything I
“ate” had to be pureed. After several months of enduring cold pureed food, I
joined a support group for head and neck cancer patients at Emerson Hospital.
Turns out the pureed food issue is common among head and neck survivors.
We decided that the
internet is full of cold fruit smoothies; tasteless veggie shakes; and creamy,
milky, yummy, dairy treatment. What we craved are hot meals that everyone else
at the dining room table was eating. Most of us have been shunned from dinner,
because we can’t eat what everyone else is eating. We want to join in on
mealtime again. We wished we could convert normal meals into something for us.
We joked that she should create a “recipe” book. I went home that night and
decided it needed to get done.
Below is the list of
SPOS Soup and my first 25 recipes:
