I also am a patient at Moffitt and was 31 when I went thru radiation and chemo last year. Dr. Trotti was my radiation oncologist and I can definitely vouch for the fact that he is a brilliant doctor and his staff are tops. Treatment was hell, but I got thru it, and it is all pretty much a blur now. Even though they say us younger folks can withstand more, that may be true, but I couldn't of said that for sure at the time.
I could never have even thought about driving myself to treatments, and I live only a few miles away. As for the feeding tube, even though it was always in my plans, they did not think I'd need it until a week or so in. But because of my cancer it was already hard to eat so by the time it was scheduled to be put in I was desperate and was eager to get some nutrition and hydration. If I had to to it over again, I would put more effort into staying hydrated, taking the anti-constipation pills regularly, and better nutrition.
