I don't believe I said anything nearly as biased as the comments like "PEG the only way to fly" or "see your doctor and immediatly insist on a PEG" or Your doctor must be stupid or what ever.
It seems to me that this person is already able to eat, and has a doctor that has some idea of what is going on. I don't think we need to jump all over a new poster with such comments. My posts were rather carefully worded not to bring the WRATH OF PEG down on myself and it still happened! Crap, next time I am not going to hold back.
By the way there is a 2% mortality rate directly related to the procedure of PEG tube installation.
Glenn I thought you had my back...I counted on you man.
Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
