I went to the emergency room and the did a cat scan and found it wasn't even in my stomach any more. It was in my abdominal wall. No wonder it hurt!!
Now they say they need to put a J-tube in. I am in my 5th week of radiation and still swallowing fine. I don't even want another tube put in!! Does anyone know anything about a J-Tube that goes in your intestine? I've read it can have problems too that I don't need.
