B.C., Your husband's situation sounds similar to mine...stage IV, base of tongue lesion with neck nodes. However my tumor was to big to make surgery an option, so I had just radiation and concomitant chemo.
I am curious about a couple of things: Did your husband ever get the PEG? I have had mine since the third week of radiation.
Secondly, you said that he is gaining weight. Is he now eating solid foods? If, so, how long after treatment was he able to eat? I have been through with treatment since labor day and still , not only cannot eat, but, as you mentioned, even have difficulty swallowing liquids including water.
