Hi JoeMitch, sorry for my late response. My OH had a feeding tube for six months whilst and after having radiotherapy for throat and tongue cancer earlier this year.

His tube was a nasal one, you don't say whether your husband has a nasal or stomach tube. If nasal, then if I can I will try and help or support you.

It's a lifechanger that's for sure, especially in these strange times where the only help available (mostly) is via the phone. Sorry both of you are having to cope with this and hope that it is a temporary situation for you. flowers
