I posted another response to John's exercising in a different thread but here is something about the PEG. If he gets the Peg now before his mouth and throat are trashed by the radiation, it is an easy outpatient procedure done by a gastro doc with a light down the throat, a hole in the stomach and a tube - easy peasy, If he waits , then you need surgery with a fluroscope and an interventional radiologists, Much more complicated,and painful like I ended up suffering
finally, you can easily exercise with a PEG, In the two months between recovering from surgery and starting this second round of chemo and rad, I worked out at the gym everyday with a peg, I lifted weights, I did pilates, I did the bicycles, Just tape the PEG to your stomach,
It sounds like John needs better advice from his medical team or else he needs to start asking them better questions.
