I am in my 5th week of radiation and have 9 more days to go. I'm trying to avoid an operation or a feeding tube and I hope I'm making the right decision. I do want to gain weight but I'd rather not have another operation. I know you suggested the nasal tube but my doctor said that wouldn't work for me. I am supposed to see him on Aug 12th for the procedure but I think I should really speak to him first again because he really didn't explain everything fully and with everything on my mind sometimes I don't retain all the information . It's nice to speak to someone who has been through everything. Just knowing that I'm not alone helps out a lot. God Bless
Operated on 5/11/11. Removal of the partid salavary gland on left side. Removal of soft and hard palate and 3 teeth. Removal of 3 lymph nodes on left side. Radiation from 7/5/11-8/18/11 (33 treatments)
