Hi, I thought I would post with an update. Richard had the peg tube put in this afternoon and the Dr said everything went fine. He's very sore right now as the pain meds are wearing off. The nurse indicated that he might be sore for a few days, then should be fine.
Tomorrow we have appts with the peg tube nurse, showing us how to use it. After that appt we go to the chemo class for info about the treatments. Radiation begins next Monday along with the first chemo session. Everything has been coordinated quite well. The hardest part of this whole ordeal so far has been dealing with SSA to start getting benefits, but that is finally settled.
We are so ready to begin the treatments and get through this as best we can. If anyone has any feedback about questions to ask or info for us at this point in time please post. Thanks for all your help...Geri
