For those facing their first procedure, perhaps one of the biopsies, needle or scalpel, there is little I could find about eating, or other first time issues.
Feeding tubes etc. are unfortunately necessary for folks with advanced cancer after extreme procedures, usually chemotherapy and radiation.
Those of us lucky enough not to require these devices still face some eating challenges. There are also some logistical matters to deal with. Some of my experiences are posted in my thread "Carpe Diem" in the "Currently in Treatment" section. Hopefully you find a few of these ideas useful. Welcome, if you get to this post.
