My current form of exercise is tae kwon do. I am realistic enough to know I will be falling behind over the next several months, which is disappointing because right now my husband and I are at the same rank and we are just about a year out from black belt.

I am guessing that there are physical limitations when one has a feeding tube inserted. How does it affect range of motion? I am already letting our instructors know that I will be sitting out on sparring, so I don't get kicked. Anything else I ought to be aware of? I figure fatigue will keep me out of most trouble.

Also they recommend a port if we do the chemo. Any special complications from that?

Thanks for any tips!
