Thank you so much. I know you are about to get on a plane and I am good with whenever you can respond. With the feeding tube put in at Mayo was that right away when the couple of days were tests to begin with or at the first consultation? He has tests for 2 days and then we don't go back until the next Thursday. Thanks for your response.

My feeding tube was put in week two at Mayo.

Week one was this order of things - pet scan, initial consultation with oncologist, and upper endoscopy. Ct scan (I think).

Week two started with radiation oncologist. Then consult with surgeon, followed by surgery next day to put in tube and look around abdomen for trouble.

Port put in and chemo shortly after that.

Here goes the plane.
