Thanks all! I feel better today. Nausea is mostly controlled and I'm forcing the cals down. The liquid is no problem. It's just so damn hard to eat when nausea is tellin u no! But I absolutely get the importance and I'm on it! After these posts am inspired to go a bit longer b4 peg. Like some others, I am loathe to undergo any additional procedure. I also have a negative mental factor. In my job I work w small hospitalized children who are mostly chronically ill, and they all have G tubes due to inability to eat due to brain damage, or destroyed GI tracts, or whatever super bad thing. So in my mind, Gtubes do not have a good association! However if I need it to save myself, I'm willing. Took a couple weeks to wrap my head around that one, but I'm there, if needed. Anyway I'm off to attempt a shake! Have a great day everyone; am so happy for OzMojo and Hellion who are almost done! Congrats!! The way I look at it, tomorrow Im 1/6 done, and Im already 1/3 down on chemo. Not bad!
