Joined: Aug 2019 Posts: 57 | I didn’t have surgery, just radiation and chemo. I had a feeding tube and was kind of glad i did. At several points in the process, eating was challenging and having the tube was the best way to maintain nutrition. I just had it removed 2 weeks ago (yay) after 11 months. It wasn’t too much of a problem and i would do it again.
