Hi Greg and welcome. I too, got my tube in before I started treatment, as I'm very thin without so much as 5 lbs to lose. I'm now starting my 6th week of radiation (and will have my 3rd Cisplatin treatment on Tuesday). So far, I've used my tube for practice (thought I better know how to do it, just in case), and right after chemo....I'm still swallowing well for this far into treatment (tho many things sting, so I have to be careful)...Oh, and I have lost only one lb. so far...

Lots of support and knowledge here....glad you found this board.
