Hi Shelby,

My team thought I could make it without a PEG but I hit the wall hard and was unable to eat the last couple of weeks of treatment and I lost a lot of weight. I rang the bell and two hours later was having PEG put in. Other than water, I took nothing by mouth for the next 4 weeks of recovery and relied on the PEG. As much as I didn't want one, I'm glad I had it. I started eating a month post Tx and didn't use it at all since. It was removed 8-6.

In retrospect I probably should have had one put in sooner but I fought it tooth and nail until I had no choice. Even if she never uses it, it's a good insurance policy.

Positive thoughts and prayers
