Roger,
Thanks for the update. Sounds like things are going along but not as fast as you would like. You are going through a lot of treatments so it is going to be a longer road to get past this all.

Since you need to get rads/chemo the throat is going to get hard again so adjust your outlook past the end of that set of treatments. It is a long way away for sure but focusing on the longer term will make the daily ups and downs go by a bit easier.

The PEG is essential to get the liquids and nutrition down.

Hang in there, Don
