Apparently Sloan Kettering's attitude on PEGs is similar to my CCC - at least in accommodating stubborn guys in their 60s.
[quote]After the weeks of chemotherapy and radiation treatment in New York, Oscar-winner Douglas will have his final treatment session this week.

His recovery is then expected to take a further six weeks, after which he will undergo a series of checks to test the effectiveness of the treatment.

Mr Burry said at the weekend: �No further treatments are scheduled after this week. He�s really happy about it ending. He was determined not to have a feeding tube during his treatment and he didn�t have to have one.�

Douglas is being treated at Manhattan�s Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre, one the leading cancer specialist hospitals in the USA.[/quote]
MD is 66, just three years older than myself and I know just how he felt.
