Ezjim what was it like without the tube, he told me I didn't have to get it, but if I got where I couldn't eat, that they would have to stop the radation untill I healed and then put a tube in and start again. I don't know if I want to prolong treatment like that....I need to know all I can, and I know everyone is not the same....but it helps to know everything....Thank you
