Thanks Amy - I'm also on Cisplatin - so maybe adding the radiation over the past few days has caused side effects to show up early. I don't have a PEG - I have one doc who says I'll definitely need one, two who say don't put one in until I definitely do need one - so I decided to go with the majority and wait until there is a definite need. I'm doing well with drinking - not as great with eating, but today the nausea was much better and I was able to get down more calories. The weird puckering/painful stimulus is really unpleasant - hopefully it'll go away soon!
