Ask about a PEG tube.

Ask about a port.

Do you think I will need one, the doctor seems to think?
I can work with the treatment, he is giving me?

I sure hope they do not mean to give me an operation DonB there has been no mention of it so it would be a shock to wake up and see my tongue gone.

Hi Jim I think it sounds like something Michael Jackson was interested in Hyperbaric oxygen treatments, I don�t know if it would be any good for me with BOT treatment.
