Hello, I have searched here but can't find answers. One of my oral cancer friends has recently had a permanent peg installed two years after treatment for BoT cancer treated by chemoradiation. He can eat only a very small amount by mouth and is very thin. The big problem is that he is suffering frequent, sometimes constant nausea and no-one seems able to figure out why. He IS putting on weight so doesn't want it uninstalled but nausea (even after meds for it) is a terrible thing to have almost all the time.


1996, ovarian cancer surgery + cisplatin and taxol.
September, 2007, SCC of left lateral tongue. Excision.
October, 2009 recurrence in scar tissue, T1NOMO. Free flap surgery from left wrist - neck dissection. 63 year old New Zealander. No chemo, no RT.
February, 2014. New primary in left buccal mucosa. Marginal mandibulectomy, neck dissection, right arm free forearm flap. T1N0M0 but third occurrence and some areas of concern: RT started 8 April and finished 19 May.
