I would like to thank everyone for their replies and advice. At this time I have decided not to use the PEG tube. I have an agreement with the Oncologist that at 8% loss of body weight a PEG tube will be inserted.
I will be starting another tread on the Currently In Treatment Forum. Thank you Again. LPV
