Due to radiation to head and neck area, it is now difficult to swallow, and I am frequently nauseous. I will be getting the stomach tube shortly, but don't see how that will help with the nausea. It should help me get more nutrition in though.

Any tips on dealing with this? I am in week 4 of treatments. What about bowel movements while on totally liquid diet? How do they change?
