@colleenyoung …Hi Colleen, The feeding tube has not been put in yet. The week we were scheduled he was in so much back pain that he couldn’t make the trip. They rescheduled for the first part of December. But in the meantime we have transferred to a different facility for his chemo treatments. Closer to home. Our new oncologist wants to do a couple more chemo treatments before a feeding tube is done. She is hoping for some shrinkage so perhaps he will be able to swallow. But he continues to lose weight. 50 pounds so far. On a good day he may get some soup down but that’s a hit and miss. He has no energy and Mayo stresses staying active. How is that possible with no energy? I’m worried but it doesn’t seem to be a priority. Oncologist says that having a feeding tube is a whole bunch of new problems.
