Hi Valerie.
it is a brave doctor who makes a sweeping statement like that.
Many people on these boards never had any side affects until the last seven treatments,and some started with side effects from day one and just got worse throughout the treatment and for some time after it had finished. bottom line valerie is there are no hard and fast rules about side effects,you take them day to day,but it certainly sounds like your hubby would benfit from a peg tube to help him maintain his nutrition.

love liz
