Nutritionist?: Consult with your doctor. The cancer treatment team always have the nutritionist on staff to help you with all your need. Most of the time, it is the GI tract problems that we needs to deal with. Orally, as long as we can function (chewing and swallowing), there is no concern. Soft food may be recommended, but not mandatory.

Depends: Depends on circumstances. Any symptoms or trouble eating? If not, eat normally. If so, you may need advice from a nutritionist who works with head and neck cancer patients.
