Hi , My name is Michelle, I joined this site for support and advice for my family. My stepdad John is battling stage 3 Throat cancer . He went through the treatment of chemo and radiation was finished Jan 2018. He endured a lot of side effects and even 5 months later the pain and discomfort is more severe than ever. His throat is burned, sore, full of mucus and pasted. He is unable to eat due to the pain he staying alive from drinking ensure or boost . The doctors want him to get the PEG tube so he can’t get nutrition he is very scared and has so many questions is there anyone on here who has a peg tube in ??i think getting the feeding tube will get him stronger and fight this battle .
