Hi all, my brother is seriously struggling to cope after just having a second (failed) operation to open his throat to allow him eat food and drink naturally rather than through a tube/peg.

He has asked about a stent or other possible options that might be available to him. Can anybody shed some light on these and apologies if this has been asked before.

Philip

Brother 51 Y/O
Had a biopsy to remove lump in throat
Recently been through Radio & Chemo
Is in recovery now and trying to deal with post issues
Has had 2 operations to allow food/drink go down throat (unsuccessful)
They say the throat is wide enough but it's the muscles are the problem with the swallowing action
Still feeding through a Peg
Has recently had another biopsy and the cancer is back
