Frank, congratulations on completing your treatment!! Seeing that you went through treatment at my alma mater, I know you were in good hands. (I grew up in Redwood City, BTW)

As you peruse the board, you will find a wide variation on experiences. Some get worse for the first 2 weeks or so after treatment. I got better fairly quickly. I also did not have a PEG tube, and just drank lots and lots and lots and lots of water. ;-)

I also forced myself to get outside and get exercise, which helped my appetite. I always had the water bottle with me!

Take it day by day, enjoy the improvements, and don't get too discouraged by any perceived setbacks. Keep posting here as well!!
