I guess it is Shawna,
The Problem I had during chemo was Neutropenic Fever. It is a failing of your first line infection defense and should not be taken lightly. I spent a week in MSKCC for it and you should not be doing an "at our request" if it is against medical advice, if it happens again (assuming you are covered). If they did not argue, fine. Just so it is clear, my fever went down in a few hours and I spent the week there. Just keep this in mind if it happens again. Search Google and check for the diet so you steer clear of problem foods.
On the PEG, we have some experts that will answer that. From what I understand you can find Jimmy Hoffa if you have one.
