Yes. I’m really hoping he does as well this time and doesn’t need the PEG. The worst time for him was the 3 weeks post radiation. In and out of the ER. I’m looking into mobile IV businesses so that maybe they can come to him instead of spending hours in the ER for iv hydration. I’m just trying to remember all of this beforehand so we’re ahead of these issues instead of behind. I’m sorry you had to endure this barbaric treatment and wish you all the best in your recovery! ❤️

Was that due to your radiation? My brother was diagnosed with tongue cancer over two years ago and it has come back. He just had surgery and will begin radiation in two weeks. Luckily the tumor was in the opposite side of his tongue so he can do the radiation again. He managed to avoid the peg tube last time as he was able to get two cans of ensure down daily. Such a barbaric treatment. I’m sorry you had to go through that and am glad you’re on the mend!

Good point. I didn’t think of the fact it would help with hydration as well as nutrition. I’ll definitely keep that in mind. Thank you!
