I am a solider on the side of the NO PEG warriors. In your case, you do likely need to get one early. You have lost %wise a lot of weight already; it only gets much worse during rads.
No way to get around that rads are hard to get through. You must focus on hydration, nutrition, and pain management. Do all three well and you will get through with the fewest issues.
Good luck Don
