I am about to start my rt treatment on 5/4/2009. I am not sure what to do about a feeding tube. Should I get it now, wait until I need it or try to go through without it? I weigh 245 currently, so I think I can make it through without it. Please let me know what you all think. No chemo, only rt 5 days a week 50x.
