Hi everyone. Im new here but have enjoyed reading all the posts thus far.

I need some advice. My husband has 4 more radiations left. He did not get a peg placed and has been able to maintain some nutritional intake through this process up until now. Now, his mouth is an absolute mess and it takes all he has a lot of times just to swallow the morphine. We both know that just because RT ends in 4 days, that we have a long road ahead of us still.

At this point and time, he considers having a peg placed as admission to defeat. But, he has quit taking any type of nutrition by mouth, It is going on 8 or 9 days now. What do I do as a spouse? If I bring it up at all right now, I get my hid bitten off and frankly, im too tired myself to go toe to toe. He is also talking about not going back for his last 4 radiations. Please give me some advice
Thanks
