Using the peg is VERY important.At about the 2nd - 3rd week the effects of the rad will sneak up on him.I dont know about your husband but Jerry was given steroids to take the night before and the morning of chemo.They give him another dose right before they start the chemo.The first week he did real good until Mon, the 2nd week he did good until Sun and this last week has been the worst so far he has been in bed since Sat.He has 9 more rad tx and 3 more chemo tx.As of last week he had lost 20 pounds and finally started using the peg last Fri.I am sure he has lost more weight.I tried to prepare him for these days.He told me a couple of days ago he didnt know if he was going to make it thru the next 2 weeks.He thinks that once the rad is over with that he will bounce back to his old self in a week and thathe will be able to return to work in Sept or Oct.He still has surgery to go.It is a very hard and long road with MANY BUMPS!
