Lisa,

I did radiation no chemo and had no PEG. It was no walk in the park but I made it through all right. I'm 6 months out and eating good with most taste back.

I found this site before treatment so I was mentally prepared for the road I faced. The folks here walked me through treatment and the after treatment issues. You will be facing a tough road but one well traveled. Check in any time and ask any question you need answered. Someone here will have a gem of wisdom for you.
