Just to reaffirm some of the points here:
I got through the first time without a PEG and launched another round of the PEG wars here on the board with my staunch opposition to it so believe me when I say that you will spare yourself a lot of grief if you get a PEG.
Insist they test your tumor or biopsy for HPV, it will buy you peace of mind as so far no one on this 6000 plus board who tested positive for HPV has had a recurrence and posted about it. Only those of us without HPV seem to get BOT cancer a second time.
EAT, EAT, EAT now. Everyone loses too much weight, even with a PEG.
Finally, for the majority the Treatment does the trick and they do not get it back and go on to live the "new normal". So good luck and best wishes
