susan,
from one caregiver to another...welcome!

the PEG is normal...sometimes livesaving. the PEG will probably be put in before treatment begins or shortly afterwards. be sure and read the post on this by using the search box at the top=right of the page. u will not get alot of info on this from the surgeon, but there is tons of helpful info on here.

u can use the search box to search for anything and it will take u to threads with that word in it. very useful tool!

u are in for the journey of ur life. but stick close to this site and u will get thru fine. we are all here for u day or nite 24/7!

ask as many questions as u need-u will have plenty-and use us to rant and rave and vent when necessary.
