hello

Hi Dinky and welcome to the community. Most of us have feeding tubes of some kind and 90% of them are temporary. Do you know what stage the cancer is? 

Hi Dinky. Welcome to our small community forum. Sorry that you found yourself on here on behalf of your sister Hazel. I am almost 5 years pass radiotherapy for tonsil cancer. I also had 2 chemotherapy sessions and I had a nasal feeding tube fitted week four of treatment and it was taken out week three of recovery. Is there to aid us  while we’re going through treatment it’s very rare that anyone at all as the tube in for  life, if you want to give us a bit more info about your sister, would be a little happy to help my tumour   Size was T2N2NM I was also HPV 16 positive.

Hi, I have a feeding tube for life. Honestly, I don't like it but you get used to it. For me it is unsafe to swallow so everything goes down my peg tube, I miss food greatly but also I'm getting used to it. I hope that your Sisters tube is temporary, I can only share my experience. My motto is, " you don't know how strong you can be until being strong is your only choice ". Take care, Wayne.

HI Wayne Wise words and a great motto. I like it and so true.  All the Best Minmax
