Congrats on being in remission! I'm so jealous (granted I'm a little over 3 weeks out of treatment now)! I have to wait until October for my PET scan.

I still have my PEG (but I'm not using it anymore) so I don't know if this helps or not! But I have a lump under my skin around it, I'm guessing it's just scar tissue. And when I eat too much it definitely hurts and it swells around it (I had a CT scan done last week to make sure no fluid was leaking around it - still waiting on the results). So hopefully it's normal because I've got the same problems!

Hope this helps some and congrats again!!!!
