I took Joanna's advice and when I had my tube removed I asked a friend who worked at a local nursing home if they could use all the cans of food I still had on hand. He told me they had a huge stockpile.

The next time I showed up at my CCC, I remembered to ask the dietician who originally prescribed and set up the deliveries of the cans if she could use it. Indeed they could. She told me that there are plenty of patients who do not have insurance that will cover for the tube feedings.

Happily, the next time I traveled for a onco appointment, we delivered all the leftover cans and a box of the gravity bags. The dietician was so delighted she came down with a wheelchair to load up the cases for us.
