Carol hasn't had surgery but she has finished her first week of rad and chemo. Carol had her teeth pulled one day, had a week's "rest" then the PEG surgery and rad started the following week. Homershoney is correct about the PEG. Dr's and nurses really down play the PEG surgery. Almost zero info from them.

Best of luck with your treatments.
