Dan is 7 weeks post 8 weeks of chemo/rad and still completely relies on the PEG...nothing will go down yet. It has helped keep his weight intact. He has lost some, but not too much since the PEG. Dan takes meds thru the PEG for acid reflux and bowel problems along with pain meds and nutrition. He has had no problems with the PEG and insertion was no problem either. Will keep you in my prayers!
