Great news Pattymac. May his improvement continue. Re the PEG tube, it may be prudent to keep it even if not using it until he finishes treatment as it could be needed eventually. It certainly is a lifesaver when not able to swallow enough nutrition to sustain oneself during and after treatment. Make certain he understands that before making the decision to take it out. Let him know we are all cheering him on in his recovery.
