Virginia,

Good to hear he is at a CCC. U of M rocks! Very good place to go. Good choice. I was stage IV.
T1N2AM0. I chose the University Of Chicago. Two of my doctors came from U of M.

I opted not to get the Peg. I am not sorry I did. It was a struggle but it also helped to keep things moving in there.

Nutritionally, I lived on Ensure (4 to 5 a day), Matzo Ball Soup(not sure where my wife came up with the idea, I never had it before but it worked), Oatmeal,Scrambled and Fried Eggs, thats it. The doc told me not to take any other suppliments. I was 41 and fat (yea I can say it) I am now glad that I was cause I lost 47 lbs.

It was rough but I made it through. Dont get me wrong I dont ever want to do it again but I would for my family. You need a reason to fight. Tell him to bulk up now and get ready for a 12 round bout. He can, will, and must win.

Goos luck. Stay in touch. And of course god bless.

Robert
