I’m sorry to hear you’ve gone through so much. Did you RO mention a feeding tube? Do you know how many sessions of radiation you’ll be getting? At our hospital, patients get fitted with a feeding tube at the end of the third week of radiation, which is when swallowing gets quite difficult for most people. You will need the nutrition to keep you going through radiation and chemo. I would suggest you speak ASAP to your doctor about your swallowing difficulties. A feeding tube will ensure you get the amount of hydration and calories you need. With your surgeries, it may be that you’ll need the feeding tube earlier.
