My husband, John, is home from scc surgery [Apr. 21, 2005]to remove tumor under tounge. The surgeon also took many lympth nodes out-all clean-
We were told the tumor was the "nastiest" kind, so radiation is the next step. Don't know how many treatments. John came home with a PEG and was told to use 4 cans of TWOCAL HN a day for the 1st 7 days and then 3 cans a day for 14 days plus ssoups or ice cream.[we go back to the surgeon in 14 days] Our insurance company refuses to cover the TWOCAL. Says it's just food. We both have a good attitude, altho I am worried that John is not taking this as seriously as he should. He's building a fence this weekend. I haven't learned the lingo of this site yet, but have learned alot already from all the posts here and find that I care about all of you and what you are dealing with. Can anyone tell me where to find good soft food recipes that I can intice him with? He hates the PEG feeding and I have to remind him to do them. Thanks, Amy
