Getting rid of the PEG tube definitely marks the end of a chapter. I hated the idea of having one from the start, but I also must admit that it was both useful and necessary. (Even though I had it relatively easy). It definitey feels good to be "unpluged" again although the moment of unpluging can be a bit eye opening (depending on the design of the PEG tube). Compared to radiation and all the other crap you have to go trough it is a non event!!
