Hi everyone! So I'm in the middle, well start really, of treatment. I do chemo and radiation 5 days a week. I have 32 treatments and I knocked out 8 so far so only 24 left!! laugh but anyways, I'm eating and talking great but the docs keep stressing that I won't be able to make it without a G tube. Honestly, I don't want another scar, another surgery, and I hated the feeding tube when I had my nose one in the hospital after my glossectomy. Its bad enough I have a giant scar on my forearm, leg, neck, and a 2/3 of a weird color tongue haha. but i don't want a scar on my stomach if I can eat fine. Did you guys have to end up getting one? And when did eating start getting hard for you?
