I did my entire 5 days a week of radiation(that ended up lasting 10 weeks because of IMRT machine breakdowns) plus 8 full chemo sessions without a PEG. It was difficult but I was determined.
However, what matters here is what the patient wants not what the doctor recommends. My doctors actually hectored me to get a PEG and I had to hide the amount of my weight loss by putting lead fishing weights into a multipocketed vest.
I had no choice this time around. There have been many people here who posted that they went thru treatment either without ever getting a PEG or else getting it and never using it. However many more posters insist the PEG was a godsend.
