Thank you, Ed. I will be going with the PEG since they anticipate that it will be there for awhile and the have a swallowing specialists that will be working with me the entire time and during the rehab process. I feel that I am in in good hands.

Thank you for sharing you experience. It's good to know how others have fared with different treatment options. I hope you are doing well and continue to do so. I have not been as active on these forums over the last couple of months with my new diagnosis and treatment plan, you'll see me back her more frequently as I start to feel better!

Good night! I've a got an early morning ahead of me!
Take care,
Kerri
