Hi Leze,
I am in total agreement with Mark. Even though I did not go through the same cancer I can well understand the pain and trauma. I hope that surgery of the tongue will not be an option and all will be ok - but the idea to put in a peg for the moment is a great idea as it will certainly give him all the nourishment and medication to make him feel healthier and give his tongue to heal.
I have no food passage and have been on the peg for well over four and hlf years and thnks to some fantastic innovations in the food department by both my mother and wife - I lead a very normal life and am sure your husband too will bounce back.

Ananth _ survior - cancer of the larynx - final stage - refused surgery as suggested by the doctors and instead chose a radical option - just radiation and then chemo on request by my treating doctor. The problem with the food passage is a direct result of an overdose of radiation. Was declared cancer free in January 2004 - though the side effects remain - a stoma button( not permanent ) in my throat and the peg in my stomach.
