Bob, My husband is 10 weeks out and never used the peg (though he still has it), but still can't eat real food. He has been drinking BOOST and ice cream shakes for 12 weeks now, along with cooked diced peaches. He has had acupuncture weekly through the cancer center (CCC) since pre-radiation ( 17 weeks now) and really never experienced nausea except the one week he skipped. He seems to think that what is stopping him from eating is 1) still a lot of swelling in the neck from a mod neck dissection, 2) spot at base of tongue that is not healing, and 3) some mild to moderate dry mouth. He says with only one of these issues, he could probably eat, but all three together are a real problem. Sounds like your main issue is the nausea though. Hope you find a solution soon. Would love to run into you at a buffett or any eating establishment! We used to eat out a lot, but we haven't been to a restaurant since Feb 11th. Eating out again (together) will be a huge milestone!
