It's not really a war, just CCE (Continuing Cancer Education). When I read remarks like [quote] But once you're 20 or so radiation treatments in... the PEG had to be used.[/quote], I share that it's simply not true for everyone. Otherwise a new person may read it and not realize it's not necessarily so. It was true for you but not for me.
I did 40 Radiation TX and never needed a PEG. So did many others. As Brian noted, even oconologists heatedly discuss this. I am getting a much clearer view that most of the posters (myself included) echo what their RO believed. Some think it's necessary, others like mine feel it is not necessary but only a last resort.
As I told Anita, as long as posters blithely assert that a PEG is necessary, I will present the counterbalancing facts.
Deciding to get a PEG is an elective procedure and like most choices, it is best made with knowledge.
I never liked the term PEG Wars but it was how my posts were described back when I joined OCF as I picked up where others left off. Thanks for inspiring me to come up with a new name
Continuing Cancer Education
