I cant believe he gave you scissors and told you to do it. This is something that should be done in a sterile environment by a medical professional. I have never heard of anything like this before. If your sister is going to be having rads soon then why not leave the tube in place. After what she has been thru it is very likely she will need the tube to help her get thru rads.
