I had the PEG tube put in about 3 weeks into radiation. It was not a problem and really saved my by allowing me to keep up the nutrition. I had it in 12 weeks and the MD just jerked it out (ouch). I am 90 days out from radiation and can eat most moist foods. I have regained about 70% of salivary function and 90% of taste. I think the Ethiol during radiation may have helped. I have my first CT scan since radiation in a few days and am scared to death. I hope the radiation worked.
