JD, welcome. Sorry you have to be here, but you're a member of our family now and we're here to help. You've already heard from some of the very best people.

Cheryl has some excellent things to say about the PEG tube. I was one of those who chose not to have one, and I regretted it. I'm happy to discuss this with you at any time, either through PM or over the phone, so send me a message if you're interested.

We'll be with you every step of the way. You'll get through this... it'll be tough at times, but I know you can do it.

All best thoughts your way.
