Wow, flame throwers n stuff, I like it here!
I was lucky and was overweight and had time to add much more weight before treatment.
Loading up on morphine and force feeding still lost me 50 pounds and doctors were FREAKING.
I don't know if I would refuse the tube if I had to do it again. As it was, the last few weeks my gut was shut down from the morpine and all the Cream of Wheat I was drinking turned to cement.
Was it worth all the risk just to avoid the tube and the side effects? Hmmm, perhaps playing it safe and giving myself the best shot at survival would have been better, but I would have missed out on the cement thing.
