Hey Tabitha. Welcome to the forum. Being a care giver is a very difficult job. You have to stop once in awhile and take care of yourself without feeling guilty. It's the only way to keep your sanity. My sister is also in week 4 of radiation and is getting the PEG put in today. It was extremly painful for her to eat also.
