markus, how long did you have the peg, how long after radation was it taken out? what kind of problems did it give you?
was you able to eat soft food and drink, all but the 2-3 weeks that you did food supplements. 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
