After watching the 60 minutes on the potential in 5 years for cancer treatment based on the resveratrol in red wine, I remembered one other argument (albeit unorthodox and most definitely NOT endorsed in any way, shape or form by OCF - purely my personal opinion) in favor of getting a PEG.
Alcohol and tobacco irritate the tissues of the mouth and have been proven causes of oral cancer. The issue of drinking a glass of wine or so after treatment (or even during treatment) is controversial with some doctors saying NEVER and others opining that they have seen no harm in their patients. The beauty of a PEG is that you don't need to worry about which side is right about alcohol, you can just let it trickle right into your stomach. At my age, I like my daily drink and hated the thought of cancer stealing that away from me too.
