More interesting "stuff" about the differences in tx. John had a peg placed during initial surgery [athe Doc did not ask- just told us it would be done] and rad. only was part of the 1st tx. That peg was yanked about 6 weeks after rad ended. The 2nd time, the peg was again inserted during major surgery and this time chemo only was the tx. I thought the statement above about not needing a peg if you were only having radiation very interesting because rad. was harder on John than the chemo was. Amy in the Ozarks
