Hi Wilma, I am going to second what Christine just said- If you are THE caregiver to your husband now, it is probably going to be very tough going for you while you go through your treatment. Round up all the help you can for shopping, cooking, house keeping whatever -- as to the feeding tube-- if your husband isn't able to help you go through this, then a peg tube will be a really good safety net for you if for no other reason than getting medications down and staying hydrated. [and having a port for chemo and blood work and invusions is a "no brainer" to me, but I guess it depends on how good your veins are and how much you like being poked on]. Some people sail through this, but most do encounter some rough spots along the way. We just want you to be prepared. Best luck. Amy
