I really don't understand as to why doctors give an option to the patients regarding the PEG!!

While under treatment,there's so much already to worry about & taking care of adequate nutrition through mouth is one worry to be spared of, as a result of the Peg.

During radiation,I hardly took much by mouth despite my RO urging me to do so.According to my MO,if i forced myself to swallow amidst the radiation nausea & discomfort then there's a high chance that i'd be put off with the swallowing process altogether as subconsciously i'd be associating the two together.Now it make sense.I got rid of the peg,few weeks after radiation & started swallowing & eating pretty fast too.

During radiation,maintaining your weight is extremely important & I did very well due to the PEG.I actually didn't want to get rid of it as i knew after it's removal i'd have to drink that horrible Resource ( similar to ensure).
