Obviously that will depend upon when Wayne says he can't.
For me, and I didn't have the Peg, I think I quit around the 20th to the 25th rad. I went totally liquid and I didn't keep up with my daily goals. I didn't have the benefit of this site until 2 weeks post Tx so that didn't help me realize how stupid I was.
Word to the wise and I'm sure you have heard it before...make him get a minimum of 48ozs water and 2000 cals "food" each and every day and when the Tx ends get him to increase those amts as soon as possible.
Good luck, you two.
