I was one that went through treatment without significant problems - some neck burn of course, but that quickly improved.
I found that my first month of recovery was rough because my energy level seem to just keep dropping.
I went to the gym to see if I could get back my energy and crushed my PEG. Then the bloody thing got infected (again) so I had it removed.
Then I had a trouble getting back to eating because I had no appetite and no PEG so my weight started dropping.
After the second month I was doing good with the energy level but not so good with the weigh. I felt good but for nearly two more months, finding something to eat that actually tasted decent was only in my dreams.
Now I think it is almost all behind me.
