Gail, while I really wish Barry the best luck with tx, I wish you good luck too, as I sit here eating a leftover KFC chicken breast and some blackeyed peas. Since John quit eating 3 wks into rad., I quit cooking and I have gained 5 lbs. on a trashy diet. It's really hard to motivate ones' self to cook and eat healthy alone. Also, speaking as the caregiver, I am thankful every day that John has a PEG. Without it, he would either be in the hospital or gone. Amy
