Hi Bob! The day I finished radiation I told my hem/onc guy I wanted the peg out! The only reason I waited 2 weeks longer than that was because they wanted to take the inner portion of it out orthoscopically & I wanted my throat to heal up a little. I had it out with only local throat spray & no anesthesia, fully awake, no drugs. I felt sooo much better all around with that damn thing out of my stomach! The nausea went away almost completely, instantly! Get it out & start eating real food! Hope you start feeling better real soon! Erik
