I have a radiation damaged epiglottis and am 100% on PEG. I haven't been able to eat any thing by mouth in a long time.
My wife is creative with a blender. She keeps my calorie load up around 2700 daily, the target my nutritionist recommended.
If you are not already fitted with a PEG, you need to get that done before or soon after entering radiation therapy.
