David,

Why do some PEG users become lifetime PEG users? He still can swallow water and most liquids.

Hearing test was done. Normal hearing for a 50 year old man.
Chemo #2 was done yesterday with the Cisplatin and they knocked him out (by request) with Ativan, Zofran, and Compazine. I will basically wake him up to feed him for a few days.

It sounds like you had such a positive result. Did it take about a year to get back to "normal"? How did you manage to eat without the PEG?

You have been so kind and generous with your helpful comments.

Thanks! Caregiver 88 in Seattle WA
