Glitch. Insurance has not approved surgery and says they have until Friday to decide. May be canceled by hospital
Good luck with your insurance carrier.

To the OP, have you looked into Proton Therapy? If it is available in your area, please look into it. Suggestion Only.

I am scheduled for surgery Friday, hoping to move up to Wednesday.
Cancer is back, pretty widespread.
took a lot of calls, about 17 to 20, to find an ent to do biopsy. He looked and said cancer was obvious. He found me a head and neck oncologist surgeon. So I canceled surgery in Wisconsin and am having it here. My son’s family just arrived so he can take me for surgery and I will stay one or two nights in hospital. Much easier for him to fly to fort Myers area instead of Wisconsin dells. Not as long a drive to hospital either. Get to recuperate in warm weather. Need prayers that this time it doesn’t return.
@rapmarks --- I'm so sorry to hear this news, I've been travelling for work and just getting a minute today to look at TUG. Your going to be in my prayers and much love to you

The plan is to send me home with the feeding tube in my nose. I am to crush my meds and send down the feeding tube, and to pour my nutrition in four times a day, and flush in between. See doctor in five days to see if healed well enough to be able to go to a liquid diet. Rather nervous about this plan.

Do you have one of your children or friends who can check on you a few times a day?

Wishing you a safe and easy recovery, feeding tube sounds awful, hope it’s temporary?

Sending good thoughts. I second the idea of someone staying with you, or at least checking in with you as you recover.

I have been too busy with deadlines. I am sorry you are going through this ordeal. Sending healing thoughts and prayers. Stay strong. I hope your family can stay with you and assist you with the medications and liquid nutrition.
