My dad is a cancer patient. Currently he is on g tube feeding. Throat cancer. And only radiation can be done. He has lost lot of weight at present 35 kg. He can hardly walk. Because he makes noise while breathing. Doc is suggesting tracheostomy as well. My dad ia very fast with even the food pipe that he has on his stomach. 19 sitting od radiations are still left. During this doctor has prescribes decmax tablet for his breathing. Since its just a matter of 3 weeks. Can he continue on decmax that can help breathing instead of tracheostomy.
