Thank you all for the suggestions for the g-tube. Marvin had to use if for the first time last night for feeding. After having been to the doctor visit after his 11th rad treatment they kept telling him how important it was to keep his weight and nutrition up. Then we had to make a visit to the place that put the tube in because we werent sure of a spot that wasnt healing. That doctor also told him the same thing that he needs to stay healthy. So we got several boost plus down it last night. He did have some problem later in the night with bruping, not sure if that was because we maybe put to much down in a short amount of time. Hopefully we can do better now that he has the idea to use it everyday. He will be going on short-term disability starting next week from work which I think will help. Both Marvin and I were a little depressed after this fisit. According to the Chemo doctor Marvin was diagnosed as a t2n2 and she had said that on tuesday the width of the tumor on the side of his neck had went down alittle (so we were happy tuesday)but then the rad docts. said that they had Marvin as a t4a because it looked deep on the ct scan. Marvin is scared of the possibility that he may have to loose his tongue and voice box. The rad doc said that just because it was a t4a doesnt mean they cant get it all just means they are treating a bigger area. Marvin is able to stick his tongue out pretty far and the doc said that was good because usually in a t4a most people cant get their tongue out of the mouth very far. So we are praying that is a good sign for him.
