Hi, Murphy,

I want to encourage you to forge ahead. Tough news that you have a recurrence. Find out ALL you options. Ask lots of questions. Also, regarding the PEG tube, my husband had one for 2 years. It definitely helped him survive the effects of rads. Do what you have to to beat this. keep us informed so that we can help you through this next phase. My best to you!
