I always considered myself lucky in regard to the fact that my insurance covered the cans of food and bags for tube feeding. When it came time to get rid of my stockpile, I asked my dietician. She told me that she would be happy to take it, as there are some people being treated at the cancer center who don't have insurance to cover those expensive items. Since I regularly have appointments at least monthly at the CCC, we just loaded up the cases and she came down with a wheelchair to load them into her office.

I felt a little bit better knowing that the supplies would be used for cancer patients. I had even the benefit of a donated case of food (at the time I was having problems digesting the stuff previously prescribed and she happened to have a different brand in her office for me to try before we ordered it)
