Hi All,

I found this site by doing a Google search on PEG
tube. I was trying to find out about bathing with
this thing. Should I get it wet? Can I take normal
showers or what?

A little about myself. 47 year old married male living in southern California.

Have stage 4 Squamous Cell of the left throat. Large tumor, quite painful. Starting my second round of Chemo next week. Had 1 round three weeks ago then 2 weeks of R and R. After the second round they plan on doing radiation with chemo. So far the tumor is localized to my left next area, no signs of cancer anywhere else. Lots of MRI and CT, all negative. The doc says my blood tests all look perfect. So far all info is very positive.

Just doing everything they tell me to do, mostly eat drink eat drink.

Good to know you guys are out there. I'll pray for all of you, God Bless.

Love Ya All,
FVDale
