I accidentally pulle out my Peg tube (got caught on a towel) and had to have it put back in. I really think that something was wrong with the innitial Peg tube placement because with this new one I am able to put 60-80 cc's through it very rapidly without any nausea or problems. I am only using it to put water through once a day to keep it open right now and am able to eat everything by mouth as of now. It is nice to know that I have it in place for when I start Rad/Chemo next week.
Thanks to you all for being such a great support to my wife and I though the first stages of treatment.
