I was still fighting to put on weight 8 months after the last treatment, and suddenly my body started ballooning out. Your friend will turn the corner, just try be patient and push through this. It WILL happen. They put a nasal feeding tube in, against my wishes, for brachey therapy and I made them take it out. They fed me through IV for the 4 days. From what I understand, that can be done for up to a couple weeks or possibly longer. Is your friend getting that?
