Sorry you are so down Nate...I think having the PEG tube in and getting good nutrition and fluids will make you feel lots better. My third week was really bad - like you say, life was never going to be better, felt HORRIBLE, can I ever finish this, WHY did I START this, etc. but once I passed that hump I have been doing better. As you, I have no taste, have a really hard time eating so am just drinking ensure, juice, water and some protein shakes. While I didn't want to lose body mass, I DID expect to lose more than one stinkin' pound over this deal! LOL

Glad you are seeing someone to help you through this - we all have our own way of dealing and yes, people DO say the wrong things at the wrong time. Good luck on your path!
