Danny, My husband never went with the PEG tube, but he did have severe swallowing problems and mouth sores which he still has today (2 months, 2 weeks post radiation treatment). He found that chicken noodle soup w/the very thin noodles was helpful (Mrs. Weiss's brand). He also managed to eat scrambled eggs, some very soft baked fish filets (boneless), very whipped potatoes (they have to be extra creamy and whipped to a real light, fluffy consistancy), rice krispies cereal in milk, canned diced pears in heavy syrup and ice cream (that was melted down to a liquid consistancy). I hope some of these ideas help, and I wish you the best of luck. Hang in there - things will get better.
