Dad went in to have a feeding tube put into his small intestine today. The tumor in his esophagus is preventing him from being able to eat anything tangible so they needed a way to pump him up with calories and strength prior to any sort of treatment.
While they were putting the feeding tube in they also took a sample of his lymph nodes from beneath the stomach which was an area that presented some concern after they analyzed the PET Scan results. Should hopefully have the results of the Biopsy and be out of the hospital in a few days.
