Glad you found perhaps the best place on the planet for this type of support. These people did wonderful things to help me get through that early phase when you're scared to death because you know nothing about this new beast in your body. And then they helped me get through treatment too. I owe all of them a big debt of gratitude.
So, sorry your mom is having so many problems. I didn't need a feeding tube, but I know of many who did. Hopefully the solution is something as simple as slowing the food delivery down or sitting upright during feeding.
Good luch with everything, we're here when you need us.
