It has been a week since I saw a doctor at the cancer center and now great timing I know all kinds of questions are flooding my mind. Also reading about survivors of probably worse than I am going to have to go through as far as I know (at least until the cat scan) amazes me at their strength. I am not sure as much as I want to have the strength of the people on this site I just don't know where to draw it from. I probably am not utilizing this site properly cause I am reading about people with "peg tubes" and most people have had to have radiation or other treatments so I am kinda still in the dark as to what to expect from what I am scheduled to have done I don't know what the terms are so not sure if I am reading even pertains to me. It is great support for sure. I am needing information for coming home I know I will be taken care of in the hospital but I am on a limited income where not much is covered and have a month to prepare and gather and not sure what I am going to need when I came home as far as eating, drinking I don't know what to expect after the surgery that is scheduled all I know is about the feeding tube and the breathing tube ...to me that is scary enough we didn't even get into anything else I was just so overwhelmed with the surgery. At this point I would really appreciate some imput. I know I could get the same information from the nurse involved but I fear that would take too long at this point my stomach has been so upset today just can't keep anything down. I have just had a bite of reality with my journey.

Thank you for your help
