My husband completely quit eating 7 weeks ago. He has almost nothing for the last 2 weeks and finally the doc made the PEG a mandatory thing.

Please don't follow in his footsteps. He is weak and doesn't hardly get out of bed. Give it every effort you have, even when you don't feel like it.

You will be glad in the long run. Even if you just drink enough of the boost drinks a day you can keep the rest of your body as healthy as possible.

My husband is proof positive that there is nothing to be gained by being hardheaded.... but there is everything to lose. Hang in there and listen to what these guys and gals are telling you. They know and they can arm you with the best advice, It is up to you to follow it through and try everything that you can.

Good Luck.

Cindy
