I can't help much on the problem with holding down the food with the PEG tube, in my case didn't get one. A lot of other on this board have and can offer a lot of practical advise.
But, I can offer that as far as feeling better after RAD/Chemo, it just takes time and patience. Rule of thumb here is one month for every week of RAD for recovery. Then you kind of start to feel n normal. I had RAD in April/May of last year, didn't even start feeling relatively normal until around December. And that's not taking into account things like dry mouth, and all those fun other side effects that become a part of new normal.
Good luck on your recovery, things will get better, really they do.
