Hayley you sound like one very mature young lady. Your mother must be very proud. I to had a peg tube and you will get thru it just fine. After a week or so it becomes part of you and you realize it is another tool in your quest to beat your cancer.This might be hard for you to beleive now but a year from now this will all seem like a bad dream and you will be a better, wiser and a more compasionate person than you already are. I,m 3 years since my diagnoses and I beleive I've never been more alive in my life.My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family every day.
