Thank you Pete for confirming my opinion that my 12 FR PEG is "crappy" and "bad" with serious problem potential. My ENT yesterday said she is considering having a "good" one put in of at least 20 and maybe even 24 once I start to heal. She is concerned that when I get the additional 5 CyberKnife radiation treatments on top of my already so called maximum of 72GY that I had burned into me, I may need the PEG longer than I thought. We will of course not be having that PEG procedure done at Georgetown University Hospital, home of the PEG butchers, although I may have to get CyberKnife there BUT only on an outpatient basis and with witnesses present.
