Kim,
Just wanted to thank you for your support and offer mine for Dave. It is great that he is still able to swallow.
I got a phone call from a man in my town tonight who had almost identical diagnosis and treatment as me. He got rid of his PEG after approx. two months after radiation. Mine has been out for approx. 6 to 7 weeks and I still feel a long way from being able to really eat. This guy has completely recovered...taste, eating, etc. after about a year, and it was so encouraging to finally speak to someone whose situation was so close to mine. I know that we all heal as individuals, but aren't success stories great.

I wish lots of success to you and Dave.

Danny G.
