Hey John,
I am currently going through RAD. Just had 15th today so I'm officially halfway.
I had the same feeling about PEG but oncologist insisted I have one just in case so that I get the nutrition needed. After reading and actually paying attention to what people have written about calories and protein I have discovered I can't hold my own even though I'm still eating and drinking some it is not near what I need to help my body heal..so I have formula here for the days I'm lacking and the pain is at its worst...so please don't feel as if the PEG is a bad thing or that you are giving in to the cancer because it is NOT! It is a tool to help your body if needed to succeed in getting rid of that intruder in you!
So from one to newbie to another......We can do this!
Love to all!
