thanks, but with my crappy 14 FR PEG, anything that is not exactly the consistency of Jevity just clogs up and backs up.
If I fail this next MBS on Nov 19th, I will be making an appointment to get a "mickey" and a decent size PEG.
The original plan was that this small one was temporary but it was put in before the pathology report came back indicating my cancer would come back a third time without even more radiation. The extra 25 GY on top of my prior 72GY basically fried my swallowing mechanism big time. My docs all warned me about this and were apologetic but I am still trying to prove them wrong.
