Hi Jay,

Thanks - I will definitely question the treatment method more and see if a PEG tube is actually needed. I'v only lost about 4 lbs since surgery. Also, I don't think they are doing a "three bag" chemo. The chemo is spread out two weeks apart. So, in week 1 of radiation, I will get one chemo treatment, then another in week 3, and another in week 5.

The way the nurse explained the portocath is that it goes under your skin into your chest. But, a PICC line is different, that's just in your arm. Do you know which one your wife had?

Also, I'd love to read your story - is the topic you are referencing named, "Concerns over PET scan"?

Thanks again,
Gina
