I have a consultation appt tomorrow to have a PEG placed. I can't take anything in by mouth. This is actually my idea, along with the knowledge I have gleened from this website. My mouth must know when I am about to try to drink a shake or eat something. Because as soon as I do, it starts hurting. I have pink magic, Caphosol. I have tried drinking/eating after pain meds have had time to get on board.

I was told by my RO before we started that I was to have 27 treatments. He would then do a few boosts to finish the total rad treatment. Anyone heard of or had this done?
Thanks,
Kenny
