Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 82 | I completed radiation 10/19/07 and didn't get a PEG tube until 10/26/07. I didn't want one, thought I could get by without one... but found out I should have gotten one in the beginning. I lost a month or so during the latter part of October, and the time before Thanksgiving... somewhere, somehow, and during it all I lost about 60 or so lbs... at the beginning I thought I was going to be able to do this and work at the same time. It only took me about two days to realize that wasn't going to work. I suppose the long and the short of it is this long, drawn out process seems to go on forever... I just need to know there's an end in sight. At times I'm complacent to sit and wait, but at others I want it NOW... I'm learning patience myself, among many other things. God bless us all.
