I just started radiation, what kind of side effects should I expect?

@oliverpuppy Can or has anyone use "Boost" in their feeding tube? I did try broth soup but didn't work 🙁 stop right after priming the feeding tube. I thought it would push though like the food does, (there both liquid)

@cskippy I did have coffee!

Hi,
I used boost and ensure thru Gtube.
broth has a different texture.
I'm fortunate to eat a bit more by mouth.
I commend you to feed thru Ntube.
I dragged into my 30th radiation round.
RN was scheduled for Ntube.
I was too sick for it and hauled me to ER.
I was in ER for 3 nights, moved 3 times, ran tests.
Ntube procedure at witching hour.
It took 3 nurses to perform & then xrays.
I screamed "get that thing outta my nose"
I waited a bit longer for Gtube as I was scheduled for it originally.
I finished off my last 3 rounds in Onco Ward.
The tales we tell.

@cskippy I just don’t know. My nasal feeding tube came with a nestle made formula that is not boost.
