Most people who have had surgery and radiation/chemo receive assistance from a speech therapist following surgery and then continue on while going through treatments. That way the speech therapist can help with any difficulties that you might have as you progress step by step. Swallowing can be a major problem for some people. I have had a speech therapist working with me following all of my surgeries and treatments.

You mentioned that you have a PEG tube, perhaps the nutritionist/dietician could head you in the right direction to the appropriate person at the factilty that has been treating you.

I hope you can get some help with this asap, rather than having to wait for another 8 weeks.
