My son has been dealing adnoid cystic carcinoma for years. Sounds like your cancer has infiltrated similar areas as his did.
He finds that foods like ice cream, mac and cheese and fish (sashimi) helped him keep his weight up. He has trouble swallowing due to surgeries and radiation so these type of foods are easier for him to swallow.
Stay strong and if you need to vent feel free to pm me.
