wfc: Please get a feeding tube. It's not be big deal. You may or may not use it, but it's there just in case. I'm a 56 year old very vain women, and I have one. I just asked for it to be above my jeans, and I tape it up and no one knows. I haven't started radiation as yet, but I plan on still trying to orally eat my meals as long as possible.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
