Faithful1: First of all, welcome to the site. Sorry you have a need to be here, but you will find it is very helpful as long as you are in a situation where you need it. Eating is difficult at this stage of your treatment. I still have trouble and I am a ways away from my radiation. In fact, I still have my peg and am in the process of getting it out, but adding nutrition through the peg can help. I used to add instant breakfast to ensure to increase the calories and took prune juice for bulk and anything else I could get into liquid form. At the same time, I did all I could to eat anything I could to help keep the throat open and viable as well as to stop any degradation of function which my doctors had advised could occur if I didn't use it as much as possible. The other problem with the peg is while you may get calories, you don't get as much protein so you may have some muscle loss. I have and that's something to avoid, if possible, by eating proteins orally. At any rate, welcome and hang in there.
