cancer....the gift that just keeps on giving.
this is certainly a tough break for your brother, fred.
was he eating normally before and just developed this side effect??? my hubby still has his feeding tube (PEG) although he can eat orally. did fred ever have a PEG--during his treatment??
there are others on here that have permanent PEGS--charm will hopefully chime in here.
