Hi Jeff,
Jack had his surgery first too and then the radiation/chemo. The surgery was the least difficult treatment to go through.

Are you also getting a PEG tube inserted? It really is a good precaution that will help you maintain adequate nutrition, hydration, and an open access route for medication during the radiaiton.

The good news is that all this is temporary and you will get through it. Don't try to tough it out, it's not necessary. There is better living through chemistry these days. I'm sure you're relieved to have a plan in place.

Regards JoAnne
