wow ... you sound very resourceful - kudos and cheers !
In 2006 - I went through 35 sessions of radiation, had to arrange with cancer volunteer drivers for transportations to and from hospital, and when no volunteer driver is available, I have to source elsewhere, ensure I have the recommended amount of Ensure Plus daily through my feeding tube, handle the cleaning and disinfecting of my burnt neck from radiation, ensure I take my medication, ensure and remember to keep my follow-up appts, etc --- all on my own!!
And now I frequently wonder how I managed to do all that on my own??
You sound very resourceful and able- am sure you will be able to handle all that!
Cheers - and meanwhile ---- lots of support from here !!

Josk. Did you decide on the feeding tube in advance, or was the decision made after radiation started?
I am hoping that with pain killers I will be able to swallow liquids. But I dont want to become dependent on oxy.
Thanks
