They say I need the peg tube now. I vomited up my pain meds and the magic mouthwash doesn't numb up my mouth sores. But they are saying they won't put it in till june 28th, which i don't know if that is a good idea. I cant eat or drink anything unless I get the pain meds and magic mouth wash down, and today i wasnt able to keep that down, so today was horrible. Saliva is getting really thick and I have huge sores on my tongue and on my lower gums and around my mucosa to my throat. I just wish there was a way to take something that would take away all the pain so i can get through this. I don't want the peg tube, but i cant do this anymore. And I am only in my 3rd week.
