Hi Woolley so sorry you’ve found yourself here. I’m sorry your  hubby had to endure the teeth extraction sadly a few trusts do go down routes.  I was lucky mine didn’t.  I’ve met people in the  last few years who also had the same extractions it’s one of my issues that I’m constantly fighting against. Unless teeth snd gums are shoeing they are in a bad condition often teeth are unnecessarily extracted but you can’t do anything sadly about that. As for  peg I didn't have one I had a ng tube week 3 it’s not uncommon there’s many on other forums that have had early infections keep it clean and it will sort out fingers x. Best advice I can give you is the radiotherapy team. I have first point of call any issues let them know straight away if they don’t know they can  help you medication if he’s having chemo take meds  as directed and the peg it’s there for a reason use it my NG tube was my lifesaver. If youve  any questions pop on last me I was happy to help., take everything one day at a time. Don’t look too far in advance. Want to treatment finishes recovery begins but the treatment also continues to work for a good few weeks. Many consultants blindly say oh and a couple of weeks or Southfield better it’s the exception rather than the rule, and that is what trips a lot of people up. They think they can round before they can walk and now tend to say it’s a marathon not a sprint but you will get there and I’m living proof that that happens .  It’s too late to do anything  for your  hubby s teeth but if I csn help others I will do  one too when he’s over treatment get a regular fluoride   varnish and make sure he’s seen at dentist every 3 months
