Welcome! You found a great source of assistance with many very caring people! I am also a PEG tube supporter and I agree that a PORT is the right way to go. DO NOT be bashful about using that tube, it's there for a reason and nutrition is critical to successful treatment and recovery. Best wishes for successful treatment and everyone here is very helpful and always here for one another!
