He will have to learn to change his attitude about the PEG feeding. After about the 3rd week of radiation his mouth is going to be very sore (see dental complications part of the dental pages) and everything is going to taste like cardboard.... It will be extremely important for him to keep his nutritional level and caloric intake high so that his body will heal at the best possible rate. The PEG will be his solution to all this. As to the insurance company, you get the person on the phone who is handling the disapproval of this, and tell him that if he doesn't fully comprehend that your husband is on a PEG feeding system, and that requires liquid supplements to put into it, that you will see to it that your attorney discusses the matter in detail with him and his supervisor. Ask him if he thinks you should buy Wendy burgers, put them in a blender and with a turkey baster try and shoot it through the PEG tube!!! This is not a matter of choosing food on your part; there is no other alternative. In my case I had one initial argument with my insurance company (I used Ensure, in a variety of types). Once the professional (I use the term loosely) got the idea of oral mucocitis, PEG, and lawsuit into his vocabulary, they started to pay. Insurance companies do not exist to help you; they exist to make a profit... sad but true. All those TV ads with agents helping people in need, the catchy sayings like you're in good hands... in my book, and from the experiences I've heard from far too many people, are little more than marketing BS. You will have to learn to fight for everything that you need. It is time to become your husband's advocate in many areas. We all wish the both of you the best possible journey through the treatment part of this and a rapid return to a normal life.
