I was told I would more than likely get a feed tube put in my side to help when I got to the point where I couldn't eat. Do you have one or plan to get one? I know two individuals in my home town with our same cancer that I have been talking to and they highly recommended the feed tube. They actually kept it for months afterwards to help with recovery. I was just curious because I don't see anyone talking about it and I thought it was routine.
Thanks, Curt
