The reason I did not have PEG was that I was also under concurrent Chemo. I do not think my low WBC could fight any infection if there is any from the PEG. Once I told my decision to my Dr. He agreed with me. He also mentioned one of his patient got infection even before the RAD started and landed in ICU 5 days. So, I am glad with my choice. Besides, I only have 33 RAD and I feel I can pull it through without PEG
