I agree with everyone that after TX you are going to feel bad and progressively even worse. I had a trech to deal with to and that made it even harder to swallow anything. I also have a peg to this day. I have been in remission for a little over a year and still am dealing with the side effects that the chemo and radiation has caused. I wish to that I would have found this forum sooner. But now that I have I love to hear about everyone's life. So good luck and I will add you to my prayers list.
