I had tongue cancer and a friend of mine, had it before me he had his whole tongue removed, he did not have peg, I had a choice so I did not take it. I lost over 100 lbs could not eat ended up in the hospital for starvation. I would say have one in place, just in case. according to my doctors about 10 % of the the people have the reaction I did to the radiation.
Good Luck
