I wish your brother the best in his treatments. Its great to hear he can still eat. Hopefully he can eat enough to sustain him. Now is the time to push nutrition and calories.

I didnt want a peg tube at all, and hate the thing so much! I do have to admit, it has saved my life. I got to the point where I wasnt able to eat anything, even a sip of water burned my mouth and throat. There was no way I would have been able to swallow pills, the peg tube is great for taking meds.

This could be somthing that is very important to your brother's survival. Remember everyone is different and some have a harder time than others. Dont let it go to far with weight loss and poor nutrition before you look into the peg tube. Its better to have it and not use it than not have it and need it.
