Yes, I am still losing weight -about a pound or two a week. I did not have a PEG tube. Your oncologist was right on the money - post radiation treatment is the roughest part. I was suddenly ill this morning for no apparent reason (I felt fine yesterday). It's exactly three weeks for me today and I'm still waiting for a positive change. I am also experiencing a lot of the thyroid damage symptoms -fast pulse rate. hot & cold, etc.
