greetings and welcome from another 4 year survivor! I was Dx'd a few weeks after you and our stories are very similar except I had a tonsil cancer and had been married only 2 years at the time. I also had radiation and chemo only and managed without a PEG. I even had the same experience with ACS! Did you have IMRT?
I survived, the marriage survived and life is good today. I am doing things that I never thought that I would do while healthy, let alone post cancer Tx.
