Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 1,940 | Rob survived for nine days of radiotherapy,and then had to go in and have a peg tube.He lost 30 lbs and could only sip water prior to his tube going in.For him taking away the worry of not being able to eat and at times drink has been the best.He also gets all his meds in his tube which is great.He reacted badly to the radiotherapy very quickly.Maybe you can wait and see how it goes?
