Hang in there sweetie...life does get better. For my hubby, Dan, it didn't get better right away. He is now 3.5 months post radiation and things are much better this last month. He does have dry mouth and taste buds are almost nothing except for the first bite or two (which might just be from the smell), but he does eat many more things now than a month ago. He has only had his PEG out for about 3 weeks, so you are doing really well!
Take care and God bless,
Debbie
