I'm in the middle of treatment for SCC of left mandible: I've had surgery to excise the diseased tissue, and do some reconstruction, and I'll soon start IMRT and chemo, as the cancer was invasive. This is second occurrence of SCC, previous was base of tongue, seven years ago, treated with IMRT only.

I have a G tube because I can't reliably swallow (or talk). After leaving hospital, I continued to lose weight. I was on 6 cans/day of Jevity 1.2, so I switched to 8 cans/day and my weight is steady. Despite appeals to my doc and home care provider, no additional food has been delivered, and I'm running out.

It's too late now to order Jevity from an online supplier myself and get it delivered in time, but I see that others have used Ensure Plus, which I might use by itself or to stretch my remaining supply of Jevity. Anyone have comments on Ensure Plus vs. Jevity?

BTW, I'll check tomorrow with local pharmacies and medical supply companies to see if they carry Jevity.
