Joined: Nov 2014 Posts: 66 | How do I watch a post? I wrote to Vitamix very recently about a medical discount and received a form letter the program had been discontinued. I'd love to be able to get one of these, I'm have so much trouble eating. There's costco I suppose? I wish I had asked Santa.

Since you are in the middle of rads, hopefully your eating problems will only be temporary once you finish. Most patients will go back to eating somewhat normally after a few weeks after finishing rads. A few patients will take longer, many several months. If you want to order a Vitamix thru OCF call the office M-F 10-5 PST.
