Thanks everyone for replying, He actually had a peg fitted before surgery but after beginning to eat again was very stubborn in the fact that he did not want to, as he felt, give up. Thankfully this week he has finally decided that the pain in his mouth is to great to continue to try to eat so hopefully will be back on peg shortly. We are both feeling better this week as a self imposed trial run of stopping the anti sickness medicine has actually stopped him feeling sick, they said in some cases anti sickness made people sick but were not happy with stopping it themselves so he did, a happier patient all round. today is the first day of week five so end of next week is the end of planned treatment, it kind of feels in sight now!
it is so lovely to read of long term survivors as you normally only read bad things on line and my spirit has been lifted greatly.... Thanks
