Hi Frank29, sorry to hear your diagnosis, but you are in the right place for help and advice.. I will echo the need for a PEG, or feeding tube.. you're more than likely going to get problems with swallowing, so best to be prepared for that if the need arises.. someone will be along to offer more advice, etc.. so stick around.. the advice that I received throughout my treatment was priceless. cheers.

Hi Frank, sorry you have had to join us. The treatment is tough; however the cure rate is very high, many on here have had the same, and here to tell the tale. Any worries or questions you have along the way, just ask, someone will always answer if they can. All the best with your treatment.
Ray.
