Hello
Recently my mom went through a 7=hour surgery for cancer of the mouth that also spread to her lymp nodes on her neck. As far as we know, the doctors did get all cancer and now she will begin radiation next week. As a preventative for the side effects from radiation (dry mouth, problems with swallowing), she had a PEG tube inserted in her stomach and was kept overnight. She came home today but is in a lot of pain since yesterday. She has lost so much weight already and I'm really worried about her. Does anyone have info. about the tube and what can be done to aleviate the pain. Thanks for info.
