My husband doesn't see the benefit so far...at most he has done it 4 times per day. I just read more about it on line, and it seems to be a good thing. But, I'm pushing so hard on required medication, and eating and swallowing...I'm on the fence on this.
We just were given this last week, during treatment week 4. I'd be interested in anyone else's experiences too.
