[quote]The general rule is one month of recovery for each week of treatment.[/quote]Double ditto that. Recovery from radiation is a beeyatch. Like my RO told me, IT'S ALL ABOUT NUTRITION. I made it without a PEG, but had a tough time choking down 4 cans of Ensure every day, four 4 1/2 months, I ate no solid food.

1) Nutrition
2) Treat depression (Wellbutrin works for me)
3) Thyroid dysfunction coming down the pike
