Denise,

My 38 year old son just completed 2 1/2 months of radiation/chemo treatment for tongue cancer. The Peg is a "must". He had it put in prior to starting radiation so that he would not be suffering the effects from that, plus trying to use it for his sole source of nutrition. The sad part about this type of treatment is the amount of weight patients lose even with the peg. Don't wait....
