Roma,

I went through treatment without a Peg or nose feeding tube even without Ensure. Yes at times it was very difficult but I just pureed soups and oatmeal and ate them everyday. The zylocaine viscous was very helpful when my mouth got really sore. I did needed to be hospitalized for 5 days due to dehydration and they put me in IV drip but I would do it all over again. From reading other posts, many do have swallowing issues from the PEG which I don't have at all. If your husband is determined not to get the PEG, then this determination will also get him through his treatment. Good luck with the treatment and always post any concerns you have on here, I found this site to be so helpful during and after treatment, when you are so unsure about everything.
