Hello everyone, Thanks for all your input about getting/not getting a PEG. After thinking it over, I decided it was definately the right thing to do for me. I had it done 2 days ago and spent a day and a 1/2 in the hospital following the procedure. There was a lot of pain for me. I had to be on Morphine for awhile. Today I am coughing a bit for some reason and it does not feel very good!!!! I will be fine though.
Again, thanks to all for your advise, especially Petey.
Tongue cancer diagnosed 12/01. Tumor removed. No chemo, no radiation. Early stage 3 SCC of the tongue recurrance 12/06, well differentiated. Hemiglossectomy, free flap, neck dissection 3/26/07. IMRT Tx finished 8-7-07(30 Tx's). No chemo.
