I finished radiation and chemo 16 days ago. i have been eating and drinking fluids however i have not gained any of the 11 lbs that i lost during the treatment. i have a PEG tube in that i do not use because it never agreed with my system hence, i am very anxious to get it out. The PEG makes me very nauseaus, my stomach has not been the same since i had the PEG put it. My question is should i wait until my first scan which, is 6 weeks from now to have the PEG removed or is it ok to remove it now without scan results in hand? also does the removal hurts?
