Hi Arizona, and welcome to OCF! Sounds like she has a great boss! I hope she will join us here and share with us as her treatments begin.

The feeding tube is a good thing, in my opinion. Keep in mind that no two patients ever respond to treatment in the same ways. There are many here who really care, and will gladly answer any specific questions she may have regarding her treatment.

Is she scheduled for surgery now, or following the chemo/rad treatment?

Where will she be treating?
