Thanks All -I'm truly obliged & overwhelmed with the responsiveness of you all..

A further question -
On Petey's suggestion -I tried searching the forum for (during & after) effects of Radiation Therapy. Seems like that the behavior depends on how an individual's body responds to it.

Today, my mother called me up from her office. She was quite panicked due to a conversation she had with a (*very* ignorant) colleague who dictated a few hazards of RT. I had to calm her down b'cos I don't want her to start this treatment in a negative disposition..

But can you please suggest something which can be useful during the treatment besides the following?:-
(1) Extra Hydration
(2) Proper nutrition/enough calories
(3) High Spirits!

Also, I could not gain enough information on PEG -is it something used as a support during RT?

Craving for your replies..
