Unfortunately, he has some miserable days to look forward to soon. Either consult with a Gastro Doc and have he/she wait in the wings or just go ahead and get a PEG tube. But , don't be fooled a PEG will be required soon into treatment. As you will notice, my tumor was almost a carbon copy of your huusbands. I had no surgery either. Darrell
