The feeding tube is nothing at all to worry about. It's a piece of cake to have put in. Takes about 20 minutes with little or no pain. As your throat gets sore in the latter stages of your radiation it will be much easier for you to input the needed calories and water. If I were you I would have one put in. Dan
