Date:	May 15, 2012 at 10:09 am PST

hey doug. A close family member has
been diagnosed with incurable stage
4 cancer of the esophagus. he has
been going downhill fast. I have been
trying to help him. he is mostly
resting and he hasn't eaten anything
for a few days other than some
coconut water in a little bit of water.
they have called hospice and the
plan is to insert a feeding tube... is
this a good idea? Or should he just
not eat at all? He doesn't even want
water, actually. and if the feeding
tube is a good idea, what should we
have him consume? is it okay to put
some orange juice or blended
peaches or something in the feeding
tube? or should he just not eat or
drink anything at all?
