Mark:
I have very similar cancer and finished treatment on June 22nd.
This site was a great help to me. You can do this!!! It difficult, but everyone here will support and encourage you throughout your treatment and after.

I would reconsider your PEG decision. If your throat is already hurting, by week 4-5 it may be extremely painful to to swallow. Having a PEG is no big deal. It's important to keep you weight steady during treatment, and the PEG makes it a lot easier to do.

As you can see, I also had BOT cancer. Please ask any questions you want.
