Argh. Called yesterday to have the PEG pulled they said Jan 7. Granted the thing probably saved my life but I still hate the thing. I have not fed with it in 8 days. It's got to go.
They said they were booked with emergency cancer patient, Vac and holidays. I told them great, I am an emergency cancer patient on Vac thru the holidays. They did not find that funny.
Saw the ENT yesterday. He scoped me and said everything looks great. I even gained 3 lbs.
Anyway, Today is 5 weeks since last rad. Life is good. The only issue are sore throat while swallowing, dry mouth, very limited taste, and this hose coming out of my belly. I even resumed my hockey dad duties.
