All so very true. In fairness to your RN relatives, OCF is exceptional for cancer forums on the internet. Brian, David, Gary, Christine keep OCF free of not only all the snake oil and wishful thinking but also the nasty personal stuff that pollutes most boards. You can't rely on what you read elsewhere but you can count on the OCF forum for accurate information based on more than "book learning".

it is so crazy how the PEG is basically DIY in terms of care and upkeep. It seems like all they teach in medical school is how to put them in and pull them out with zero knowledge of how it should feel, fit or anything else.

Now, you add another factor into this mix. There are many more female posters here who are patients not caregivers than men patients who post regularly.

Last but not least, I have not forgotten the male caregivers who have posted here. Unfortunately many of their patients have passed away but both the caregivers and their loved one are still in my memory.
