Hello again
A routine MRI 3 yrs after first cancer (mouth) has revealed a likely new one to be dealt with by
ENT team. I am losing weight v rapidly - now weigh less than when I was ten years old. I am told I can't have more radio.The ENT
man says the mucus is staggeringly thick. Am trying to consume liquid food but I now choke on it all and the heaving is vile.
Fortisips are out (as is the juice) other items drop off the list daily. The consultant says I won't be fit enough to cope with surgery at this rate.
Do I have any options? Direct feeding is "obvious" I imagine. Can this be done at home? I feel so lacking in info.
