HI lori Ann, I had my left tonsil removed and did induction Chemo for nine weeks and then seven weeks of rad with weekly chemo, I am now one year free of cancer!! I had no surgery or PEG Tube, but most should have one inserted before rads begin, also have him eat and drink as much as possible, try ensure and other drinks, he should take in 3000 cals per day. The WAR ahead will be hard and tuff but well worth the fight in the end!! Listen to the Doctors and hang tuff. Semper-Fi Bob
