When I heard that they put the tube in through my throat I relented/they had wanted to put it in prior to treatment. I'm afraid my ego got in the way--wanted to be one of the ones who got by without it.

How sore will I be? Also, how long after treatment is the peg tube removed (provided weight is stable). Can you put just about any blended food in the peg? Will have a "peg tube class" at Hopkins on Fri.

Thanks so much for your support and advice==it means so much to me!!
