8. Will I need a port or feeding tube?

9. What vitamins or over the counter meds are safe to take while going thru rads?

Take someone with you as an extra set of eyes and ears to any of your consult appointments. Also take a pen and paper, have your questions written down and go down the list. Ask to record the consult so you can go back and replay it as you will probably forget many of the things discussed.
