Rather than having a Home Service Nurse come to my home I opted for twice weekly PEG check and training appointments with a nurse/nutritionist at the Nutrition Services Center (on the medical campus).
I got follow-up a calls from Gastro and the Nutrition Services Center for the first few days and my first follow-up appointment was the day after placement.
I was very PEG-phobic and the doctor at the Nutrition Services Center was a real God sent. They followed me until several weeks into RT, then fully transitioned me to the Dietitians at the Cancer Center.
