In other news, I got a call today from my RO with the results of the tumor board discussion. No surprises: Recommending combined chemo and radiotherapy. I have appointments with both the MO and the RO a week from today to go over that and do the test scan. In the meantime I'm reading up to prepare my list of questions, and planning to take advantage of some of the great weather that we're having in the upper midwest to get out and do some fishing. I'll update this thread after my appointment. Thank you all for your advice on PEG and swallowing. That seems to be the next hurdle for me.
