Hey Richard
The PEG sounds so lovley, I think I want one too! On a serious note, I definately will get one when I get radiation beacuase when I get a sore throat I hate to eat.(swallow) I know I would not be able to sustain the proper amount of substances needed to keep up my strength. And you definately do not want to have to stop treatment because your dehydrated and weak. Weight loss is also a concern for me. I'm 5'11" and 180#. And God forbid if I could not take my meds. Even though a lot of people say they make you nauseas, I will force myself to take the medicine that helps save your saliva. ( no gaurantees ) From what I've read here it's only the installation and removal that is uncomfortable. ( quick procedures ) I hope I have this right. I also understand there is nothing in your nose or mouth once it's in. Can't wait!
