yea I know it's not good. I don't think I can tolerate a nasal tube right now either because of the gagging. Not sure what else to do really but try and get through the weekend as best I can. I am working my way through a bottle of ensure right now and its taking me like 2 hours to get through it. I can only swallow a small amount at a time and it hurts like hell to do that much. Solid foods are out of the question at this point. It's been a week and two days since my last rad, I'm hoping this starts to ease up this week but I am feeling really weak and tired so I know something needs to be done sooner rather than later if this is going to continue for a few more weeks.
