Hello Ann
I am sorry you are so far away from your Fiance , that must be very hard for you.
Swallowing is going to become a real issue.
Most of our members, not all, have a PEG tube inserted along with a Port.
If he finds he cannot swallow this is, in my opinion. the best option for him.

Is he starting radiation soon?

Try to let us know exactly what type of cancer he has, this will make it easier for folks to advise you along the way.
Take Care
