THANKS for all the posts....mom is doing really well, and she is not fighting to get thru radiation anymore, she is WINNING against cancer. She fought for three weeks to try and go without, and she fought bravely, but to stand up and say no matter what NO PEG I think that people can get thru it easier, and healthier with it. I know it isnt fun, and you plan schedules around it, but she is smiling and talking to people and not constantly thinking about how she is gonna get that fruit smoothie to make 1/2 the calories to survive on. I was not for the PEG before, but when you lose to much weight and can't fight to WIN then you need it!!!
