He is going through the toughest part of thje treatment now. I'm surprised he didn't have the PEG inserted before he began. MOST important. You have to be very strong for him. It is hard, but the worst part is right now. After the last radiation, you will start to see some improvement. It may not be right away, but it will come. Thehospital is the best place for him now. I hope he is getting the care he needs.
