My daughter in law has lip cancer that is treated with a lip cream but it burn her lips She cannot eat anything that touch her lips because it hurts a lot. She is not eating at all. Nor even mash potatoes. How people with the same condition can eat? Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Welcome @gmc41, you and your daughter might like to join the discussions in the
- Head & Neck Cancer support group: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/head-neck-cancer/
In the Head & Neck cancer support group, you will meet other members who are coping with similar issues. I look forward to welcoming both of you there.

Hi @gmc41, my cousin had throat cancer and eating was difficult. He wasn't getting proper nutrition. Eventually, he agreed to a feeding tube, inserted around his abdominal area, which helped him get through that. His caregivers gave him drinks like Ensure directly into the feeding tube. There was a daily routine for flushing it out to keep it clean. It sounds radical, but if your daughter in law has to use the cream for a long time it may be a viable solution.
