Welcome to the board. As you have time, try and read all the information you can here about the disease and everything related. Brian (founder) has done such an awesome job putting all this information out here for us. I would suggest a PEG tube. My husband had it for 5 months and wasn't able to eat or drink anything for most of that time, and the nutrition was easy and so necessary while he was taking treatments. He still has a lot of trouble eating even though he got the PEG out about a month ago. He still has no taste buds and some trouble choking, so he relies on BoostPlus to help. I know your sister must be so grateful for your love and concern.
Take care and you and your sister will be in my prayers!
