Hi,
Is there any feeding tube to feed semi-liquids or juices through mouth? He don't have issues in swallowing, but as he is having cancer in his right cheek with a hole created, juices/liquids coming out of the hole while drinking. So, he feels pain while drinking, reduced taking enough food. Me or my father are very sad to take the decision of putting holes in body to feed food. Is there any alternatives, say feeding tubes inserted to mouth without any surgery, which avoids liquid coming out of his cheek. Please advise as the anti-cancer diet is the final hope for my family.
