Vicotr, It won't take you much time at all to heal from the PEG and port surgery (though you may find your stomach muscles hurt for a few days after getting the PEG) so that won't be an issue with the chemo.

I think the two weeks they talk about is for before radiation healing from oral surgery because the radiation can really disrupt the healing process in your mouth. Chemo can also slow down healing, and if and when it starts affecting your white blood cells, can make you more prone to infection. But that doesn't happen right away as soon as you get chemo. My white blood cell count didn't start declining until I think about a week or two after my first chemo. Even if the same happens to you (and it doesn't always happen), by that time your mouth should have healed pretty well.

Like David, I hope you really enjoy yourself this weekend. Eat like there's no tomorrow. There will be a tomorrow to eat and enjoy your food again, but it may be a while!
