It's almost painless and much easier than one going down her nose!!! I used mine for over 7 months with no problems. She has to input enough calories, proteins, and liquid during this healing time. It's one hell of a impact on your body to go through oral cancer treatment.
This morning I got up at 11:30am !!!!!! This from a guy who has been up at the crack of dawn for many years!!! After being active for several days it catches up to you.
Please wish your Mom the best from me and I'm sure Mandi's recipe will be terrific. Please keep us posted.
