Feeding Tube

Hi Pippi (Sue), may sound a bit insensitive, but have you actually asked? I think we have to be a bit more bold now, if you don't ask you wont get. I did message you a while ago, because my Husband was diagnosed Stage 4 Oesophageal Cancer. My Husband had a feeding tube for a while, but its not as easy as it sounds, as the liquid takes about 8 or 10 hours to go through, they have to more or less sit up, my Husband use to set his up at night. Anyway, thinking of you, in this nightmare of what we have to go through. Carole

Thanks gnilggurts for reply, I will ask about this but think it might be too late.  Hubby sleeps most of the day downstairs and has little to eat/drink.  Did spend a few days in hospital to get some fluids in.  Have now got support from Pilgrims Hospice and community nurses as things don't look too great.  I have to admit I am scared of what is to come and don't think I will cope.  Thanks for listening and sending lots of hugs.  xx Sue
