When they put that mask on just go to your happy place and try to take a nap. It isn't that bad. And in my experience the tech's were close by and on the one occasion I got sick (chemo related) - one of them must be a real fast runner because he was there in a flash.

I agree with David - eat, eat, eat all those things you want to eat and haven't because they are fattening. Now is the time to eat whatever you want and enjoy!

Before you know it, that PEG will be like an old friend..... always at your side and alot of times you don't even know it.
