Hello again,
My father who was diagnosed with stage iv esophageal cancer with mets to the liver March 12th just had a feeding tube put in today. The doctor wants to prevent him from losing anymore weight before he begins chemo next Monday. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice on what works the best with the feeding tube, we meet with the nutritionist tomorrow and I want to be ready with any and all questions I should ask. Also, does anyone know if insurance (Medicare) pays for the Ensure or whatever you use with the feeding tube.
Any advice or suggestions are really appreciated.
Despite this being such a shock and nightmare reading everyone's positive support and encouragement on this board has brought about a sense of calmness (if even for the moment) that I can never thank you all for. Everynight when I pray that my father will find the strength to tame the Beast I include a prayer for you all as well. The suffering from this monster is unbearable.....
Tracy
