Posted By: Ina Stomach Infection - Peg tube?? - 12-04-2013 09:22 PM
Joyce is currently in the hospital fighting an infection. She is very weak and unable to stand up. She even missed her doctor's appointment Tuesday. We just heard from my sister-in-law that she has a stomach infection. Could that be caused by the peg tube?

Also they found a lump on her neck? It is upsetting to get this news again. I have a feeling it is her oral cancer that mets to her throat. We will find out sometime tonight.

Appreciate all your input.

Thanks

Yes, Ina a peg tube can cause an infection at the wound site as well as the stomach.

Wishing Joyce all the very best with everything.
