Ha! I'm pumping three boxes of ISOSource as I type this. (Love that unflavored gruel!) I have to agree with Christine, pump/tube feeds are not the worst thing. More of an inconvenience than anything else.

Welcome Dad! Glad to have you onboard. Two years out is close enough to remember the details yet far enough into recovery to offer a lot of insightful knowledge to the recently diagnosed. Great to see how after recovery, people can resume their lives with a "new normal"

Looking forward to reading your posts - if you're so inclined.

Best Wishes on your continued good health
