Didier,

I cannot imagine how I would have made it this far without a PEG tube. My doctors recommended one from the start and I'm glad I did. I had 4 weeks of chemo and 35 radiation to the neck. I lost 50 pounds. I went 8 or 9 weeks without eating anything. I couldn't even swallow water my tongue and throat were so sore and swollen. Ensure Plus 300 calories a can 9 a day put 15 pounds back on plus I was able to keep hydrated with the tube. I would suggest if possible to get a tube it is much easier. I can now eat a small amount but it takes a long time to chew long enough to swallow don't be in a hurry.

Good Luck
