Thank you for sharing your manuscript and experience with us Dr. Brook. The part about being too tired to actively quit treatment really resonated with me.

Charm - we all get it- big, strong, proud men prove themselves by making it through treatment without the support of alternate nutrition/hydration - the rest of us aren't quite as strong. I believe that's your message - and I believe it's a harmful one for some readers on this site.

I think it's fair to say that we are ALL "resisters" of feeding tubes - no one here wanted one/ wants one/ or is happy to have one.
