My husband has just finished his course of radiotherapy and this last couple days mainly today he's struggling to eat as its so painful in his oesophagus.. At what point do we ask about a food tube into stomach? He's lost 2 kg and we know he needs to ensure he stays fit for surgery.  He has one more chemo left on Tuesday. We're about 6 weeks prior to the op. He was reluctant to take paracetamol/ibuprofen.  Do these painkillers help and are they ok to take?
