@mothermary1 , Joanne, I know you’re frightened. You’ve been through so much and waited so long and just want to get on with your life. When you are admitted to the hospital, just tell them you’re afraid. They’ll understand. Explain about your neck and the NG tube. There is an anesthetic spray that can be used to numb your throat. Be sure that your doctor and surgeon know all of your concerns. They and the nurses will make sure that you will be ok.
Now, tell me what part of Boston are you from? I used to live in Arlington and just loved it!

Hi Becky, I will do that. After some research I have heard some surgeons don’t use ng tube or put it in while asleep. I’m not sure how that can happen. Im going to use Brighams portal to ask on Monday. I’m from NH but born and raised in Lowell Ma. We have lived on NH/Ma border for 10 years. It takes 50 minutes to get to Boston so we have always taken advantage of that. We are not fortunate enough to have a Mayo Clinic. Arlington a lovely area. I love Boston so much we go in frequently but live in the suburbs. I’m going to get that ng tube answered because I hate it. He is hoping to remove entire colon laparoscopically so maybe I won’t need it. I hope not. Thanks so much, Joanne
