NG tube was pulled and she now has a PEG. Rad was delayed because she had a bleeding problem that put her back in hospital (blood vessel at surgery site ruptured). Rad now starts next Wed. They say she's in the "honeymoon" phase right now, she's feeling halfway decent & even getting a little food down (in addition to the PEG feedings). Doc says in a couple weeks she'll be feeling like she was hit by a mack truck - sure not looking forward to it. Interesting comment about codiene & oxycodone being 'medium' pain relievers. Knowing her med resistence I'll be prepared to ask for stronger pain meds. I know the mouth pain is supposed to start around week 3 - when does the fatigue set in?
