I would get the feed tube. I am having trouble maintaining weight due to lack of not wanting to eat with no teeth. With limited choices and no teeth Oscar should get it.
I requested it but they are playing the wait and see game. (pro bono) I weighed 180 before surgery, 159 after surgery. I got back up to 169, now I'm 164 and losing.
It will hurt Oscar to swallow in a few weeks. The chemo may make him vomit alot.
The above people speak from experiance.
Good Luck,Petey
