PEG insertion was successful. They told me to wait 4 hours and I was good to go. Somehow I got a case of Jevity 1.5 out of them. It seemed hard to get an 8oz can in, felt full. I don't think it was any different than trying to guzzle a can of Ensure Plus. The part I do not miss is my mouth killing me during/after I guzzled my Ensure.
Now, I have heard you all talk about the Carnation. I intentionally held off ordering to see if I was going to get the PEG placed. If I can keep getting Jevity free I will stay w/ Jevity.

Jevity 1.5 355 cals w/ high fiber
Ensure plus 350 cals

Is it better to just do bolus feedings w/ a 60ml syringe or ask for a pump? I feel better knowing I will be able to get adequate nutrition.


After 27 treatments I will have a total of 54gy. Currently, the IMRT is stopping at 6 locations. I guess the boosts will bring me up to the totals I have seen on here.

I was talking with one of the RO's in the group at the center I go to. She said that the radiation has effected me a little harder because I have fair skin and light color eyes. Why I share that I don't know. Maybe, it will mean something to someone down the road.

I feel like crap but am looking forward to the PEG helping me along the way.
