Nancy,

WHERE IS SHE BEING TREATED.....AT WALMART??? P.S. no offense Walmart, I was just trying to make a point. Truly though I think her rad guy must have gotten his training from a photo shop.

I can't believe the things you just told me!!!

First off she can still get a port (and believe me it's still apt to be useful if their having a difficult time finding veins now and she has 1 more chemo left to go) and no Peg that I know of is permanent and the hole I believe heals itself but remember I didn't have a Peg. How long one keeps the Peg in post Tx depends on many factors including how well she can eat on her own.
