Joined: May 2007 Posts: 27 | My husband hasn't had to use his PEG tube yet. He has now completed 20 (of 37)IMRT's. His throat is sore but, not real bad yet. He is still eating and has maintained his weight so far.
His Dr. told him that he (Wayne) can decide when he wants to have the PEG removed after treatment.
Of all that Wayne has been through, it is this tube that he literally hates the most. Says it bothers him, is uncomfortable and at times just makes him plain grouchy.
I do have a question though,about when should he expect not to be able to eat anymore?
