Hi, coquito, those are kinda tough questions for several reasons. #1. Do you want to gain back the 11 lbs? #2. How to you feel at present? #3. Does everyone on your medical team feel that you are getting adequate hydration and nutrition? #4. Do you have any more treatment proposed? #5.If you tried to use the PEG, what about it did not work for you?. #6. For most people, the removal of the peg does hurt for a very short time [a few seconds or minutes] and then it is over. You need to realy explore the options with your Oncologist. Amy in the Ozarks
