Hi all,
Well I had my appointment on Monday with my surgeon and he went over the biopsy he will do this Saturday. I also met with the surgeon who will do my port for the chemo and my PEG tube at the same time while I am out for the biopsy. I keep having conflicting feelings on this PEG tube. Part of me thinks I don't need it and I am really dreading it, and then part of me says maybe it's for the best. I just don't know what to do, but know the thought of it really scares me. Can anyone here that has had one be so kind as to enlighten me what it is like? I also met with the oncologist who will do my chemo and he said it will be once a week for 7 weeks. He said he could go once every 3 weeks but that is very brutal and he doesn't think I would tolerate that well. He is supposed to talk to the radiation oncologist and give me a date they will start all this. I think reality has really set in now, and it feels like I am in a nightmare I can't wake up from. Just having a really down day, but keep telling myself it will get better.
