Wow!!! I was not expecting a debate again!!!
My posting was just an update following an important decision that David made at an early stage of the disease and at that time still under the choc of the news. Since so many of you have answered to my first posting back in January and write to me personnally, I wanted you to know where we were at.

For me this forum is a source of information, learning from people who have lived their experience before we did, sharing our experience and slowly is becoming a place where I can help in return. I can understand that for some of us this forum responds to other needs. It is always better for everyone's health when we stay constructive though!!

Although I can read strong opinions and exasperation regarding the PEG's subject, I wanted to let you know Mark that I have not taking your comment "congradulations" as a statement of courage or being brave or whatever but just as words of understanding, support and "keep in there". Nothing else. I can also understand that we do interpretate messages differently but like everything else in life, I think it is quite important to be able to read between the lines!!!

Lets all breath-in and breath-out on this one..shall we !!!

ciao,m
