Hi Allan,

Welcome, Yes your Peg tube is very important. It will help you keep up with nutrition and fluid intake during treatment. They will show you how to use. Don't worry it's not that bad to have put in.

As far as treatment everyone is different. Some have gone through it with out to much trouble and others all kinds of side effect. I was one that had hard time with the Chemo. The radiation was OK, but there are side effects such as dry mouth, and mouth sores.

Try and just take one day at a time and ask your Doctor any and all questions. Feel free to post here if you can not find an answer by using the search at the top.

Take care
Diane
