Thanks everyone.

Got back from the OC, he says I am doing well and wants to do the PET scan in 3 weeks. I am going to ask my ENT what he thinks about doing it then and ask my RO what he thinks. The OC said it is a little early to do the PET but he wants to see it.

On another note, he said that as soon as I get all my feedings via my mouth, then they will take the PEG out. I asked that if that meant that if I could eat a hamburger or were to do just the the Jevity by mouth (like I did before), does that count, and he said yes, if I can do the cans of Jevity by mouth that would be fine, because he said he wants the peg out too.

I am still not swallowing enough to drink that much, but that gives me an incentive to try to start drinking it a little now and then more and more. Jevity is not sweet and I don't think it will be too much of a burn, but, when I was drinking it, I liked to slam it down, so I didn't taste it too much. I guess I am saying that would be my goal, to try to kill a can (or 1/2 can) at a time, I can't see me sipping a whole can, then another, yuck!

Also, Question: They said to remove the PEG, they don't pull them out anymore, they cut it and push it down and it is eliminated via the bowels eventually... I was thinking obstruction, and I thought I might wanted it pulled out, but he seemed to think the new way is better. Any thoughts?
