I had the rads and Erbitux on both sides of my throat and my mouth. Maybe I'm justtoo hardheaded for it to bother me, but I haven't needed a PEG yet. Tomorrow morning at6:30 I have to be in the ready room , LOL , and sceduled for more biopsies at 8:30. Then Friday the rad implants. I do think a PEG would help me if I need it but so far can swallow, altho it's hard at times.

Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
