I think I could go that way. eat what I can and take in extra water or what I need thur the peg. I'm not wanting to come depended on the tube, If I go that way I only want to use it when I have too and get rid of it as soon as possable. If when I started loseing too much weight or not being able to get what I need thur the mouth can I do both. like do at lest 1 food supplement a day. untill I have to depend on the tube. From what I'm reading there is times when it is inpossable to eat or drink. I do know that everyone reacts different to the tube and radation and chemo....It just helps me knowing what can happen, I don't like susprises. If it can happen I want to know, If it don't happen no harm done. It helps me deal with things. I want to keep all the water and food in me that I can. most likely, most of it I will throw up anyway. Boy I'm really looking forward to this....NOT
