Hello All,
I have one day left of Radiotherapy so Yay to that! However, I need to decide whether to have a PEG or not as my nutritional intake is really terrible, in fact I fear I have become somewhat anorexic in terms of the generalised fear and disgust I have for putting things in my mouth. It's not even pain at this point. Just a complete lack of will power in order to do so. I just started on the Fortisip, but even that I am struggling with. Last two days I managed to get 2 in just on each day, and current goal is to reach 3. Bit I've been sitting next to this one here for about 5 hours! I should be able to just drink it , but I just can't and I really can't explain why. I think it's psychological really. I was thinking if seeing how it goes after a couple of days off, and I'm not travelling 3 hours a day for treatment to see if that affects the sickness etc, a lot of dry vomiting going on, but actually was sick last night. It seems a bit weird to to onto a PEG after treatment rather than during. But I am erring on the side if just getting it at the moment. And from what you all said it seemed quite a good option, and might aid speedier recovery in the long term. My main concern is that the sickness won't abate with that either. I was sick with the NG tube after surgery, as well as sneezing it half out. Which was fun after a partial maxillectomy! Any thoughts?
