Welcome Stanley to our group. I had a peg at the rec. of my cancer care nurses & also a medi-port. I am so glad I had both about the 2nd wk. of Tx. I also couldn't eat, my tongue was so sore from the rad. I lost 45Lbs (Best part of getting cancer!) But I could NOT have survived with out the peg. I never even had the full amount I should have,(only 3 or 4 cans per day) I was never hungry. (that is a huge help when people around you are eating such yummy food & you can't eat anything (because your mouth is like a war zone !) The medi-port is a implant under the collar bone, where blood can be accessed from i.e. IV's I say, take advantage of modern medicine! They knock you out anyway, when you wake up the worst is over! Best of Luck, Stay Strong!
