My father is not able to swallow liquids/juices for past four weeks.(he stopped taking solid food 1 year ago). He is becoming weak, and become so thin. Doctors had already stopped the treatment before 4 months saying unable to control cancer growth. We are following anti-cancer diet(Gerson Diet) and other natural way of healing cancer. Now, he stopped taking the diet.
The only final hope for me is to feed anti-cancer diet through feeding tube. Please help me on below questions on your experience.
I need these answers before talking to a doctor, what to ask them etc.
1) Which tube option is the best in feeding volume. G-tube or NG-tube(Ryle's)? We need to feed 6 times 200ml of carrot/apple juices.
2) Which one is simple to Maintain?
3) Once if cancer is cured, can we remove G-tube and start eating through mouth normally?
4) How often we need to replace feeding tubes?
5) What to do if feeding tube displaced from the body? We can insert it or need to go to doctor?
6) Can we take carrot juices, apple juices, semi solid foods through feeding tube?
7) Any more suggestions.
