gita, I understand your sisters position. My wife wanted me to go onto this board when I was in treatment and I didn't as I didn't want to know what was coming. I knew I could deal with whatever happened, but didn't want to have to anticipate what was coming. So I didn't join the board until after my rad/chemo was over and while waiting for surgery. Surgery I knew about and didn't worry as I had had my tonsils out a few months earlier. If your sister is still having caloric problems, I used to mix instant breakfast and milk with my ensure and took it through the peg. Two a day was 1000 calories, and another two just plain was 1700 calories/day. That seemed to stop my weight loss and it was all uphill from there. Will pray for her continued recovery.
