Thank you Kevin and Steve for your input, I am praying that she has less of a reaction than you did Steve. The inner strength of all of you that have gone through this hell never ceases to amaze me. My friend just said she feels "wiped out" at this point. I think a combination of physical and emotional exhaustion. At this point the docs have not suggested a peg tube, though they did say they would insert one at the beginning of radiation. I realize that nutrition does play an important role, your body can't heal if you don't meet your nutritional requirements.
May you all stay well from here on-I pray for all of you!!
