D spoke with his RO about not beeing confortable with the PEG and discussed the possibility to speak with another RO who has a different approach (just to say how the whole PRE thing troubles him) which in return the RO suggested one of his collegues. The words is out because yesterday the gastro-nurse called David and they had a wee chat and she told him that it was better that D takes another week to think about it and the postponed the insection of the PEG to next week. There is no hurry there. Radio starts in 2.5 weeks.
We all live things differently but David took the dx, the surgery and the radiotherapy with rationality and dealt with it with so much calm even the 9 teeth extraction (which were all healthy and he loves his teeth so much and takes so much good care of them) BUT the PEG is an issue that just devastates him. My wee opinion is that in all this the PEG is the only issue he has control over which to have or not to have and he wants to make the decision and not someone else. thanks again for all your advice.
