Hi Anne,

I'm curious to know if the placement of a PEG tube for you was discussed? I can recall the pre-treatment nursing folks telling me that starting around the third week of radiation I wouldn't be able to "swallow my own spit". Actually, I had no choice as the facility where I was treated would not treat a patient for oral cancer without having the PEG installed first so as not to risk interruption of treatments later.

Good luck and you will make it as so many others have.
