I also have used Kate Farms and have avoided a feeding tube. I am lactose intolerant so need plant based nutritional drink, and supplement it with orgain which is not quite as nutritional but gives options. Sometimes I mix them, adding various elements to smoothies, such as maple syrup, flaxseed etc. I use an ice cream machine which cools my mouth as well. 2 years out from radiation and have swollen burning lips and haven't read about anyone having that issue.

Hi Steve .. my swallowing and speech (dysphagia and dysarthria) & also with severe neck fibrosis did not or was not evident until 15 years ago. And, because after the treatment and recovered - I had no issues with swallowing (except that I had to have liquid to help in taking the food down), and or speech.
Now - I wish I had done my dysphagia exercises back when I had finished treatment. Now I can only do my best with daily exercises - and hope to prevent late effects from getting worse!
