I hope I am doing this right. I am new to this forum however my husband is a esophageal cancer survivor of 28 years. His epiglottis was removed at that time and he has had recurring pneumonias throughout the years. As he has aged they have become more frequent and now he was diagnosed with a virulent bacteria called pseudomonas,causing his latest pneumonia, which is resistant to antibiotics. It has been a struggle but he has gotten through this but now has a PEG to give nutrition through his stomach. He is depressed that he will never again taste food again. He has failed his swallow tests 3 times and the PEG must be permanent. Any suggestions on how we can deal with change of life experience?
