John, welcome to the site. Sorry you had to find us. Thank you for the in-depth description of your treatment. You certainly have "seen the elephant" as we used to say in the Army. As Eric noted, the next month or so may be the hardest part of treatment, but with your positive attitude, I'm sure you'll make it through. Are you anticipating surgery to get out the tumor areas after treatment? Were you on the peg to get your nutrition or able to eat by mouth? Hope all goes well for you as you finish up treatment and will add you to my prayer list.


Regards, Kirk Georgia
