Thank all of you so very much for your support. I have spent many hours reading posts on this site. I have gained much knowledge and have a humidifer, Biotene mouthwash and toothpaste, artificial saliva, etc. I am aware of the suction machine when and if needed. We did speak to the RO about the PEG and see him and the CO tomorrow and will try to get the gastro guy's appointment moved up. Hopefully the PEG will cut down my nagging about getting something in him. I read about emptying the stomach contents to measure and that sounds gross. Of course The spitoune of the empty Ensure bottle is charming. He now says he feels like a lumpin his throat and is gagging. We are at Anderson now with his second to last Eributux. I have asked about support groups for us here and am still working on that. The SPOHNC chapter in Houston doesn't meet until mid April, but I will contact the leader, thanks for the lead. I knew that for about two weeks after radiation stops it is like a roast coming out of the oven it keeps cooking. When does one start to see the light? I am morethan happy to talk live time to anyone. I will let them know if it is a bad time. Contact me here through my email and I will send you my phone numbers.
