I'm sure you know this but since the radiation is just starting and has probably yet to hit your throat hard, why are you taking your nutrition via Peg? My own opinion is to try as hard and as long as possible to eat orally. Only use the Peg as a last resort. Others may disagree but working all those throat and swallow muscles as long as you can is best for you long term, although it may hurt a lot short term.
If you need some different formula, I have a few cases I can send you.
