Hi Everyone,

My father is a stage 4 base of the tongue survivor. I am here looking for ways to help him cope with his extensive radiation damage.

He has been living on a peg tube since 6/12, and has suffered with aspiration pneumonia 3x in the past 2 years even WITH the peg tube. Most recently in the past month his peg tube has come out 2x. He is NOT senile or suffering from dementia the tube is just coming out. It appears that many doctors are just not educated enough on peg tubes and freeze when seeing one.

If anyone can offer any advice or tips that would be greatly appreciated. As many of us know the peg tube is his lifeline.
