Ben had a tube down his nose into his tummy. This was not very nice when it was put in but it stopped his family always asking him to eat and drink. The tube helped Ben to have the special milk feed so that he was able to stay strong during his transplant. The tube could also be used for medicines which really helped Ben.
If the milk makes you too sick you can have a special feed (TPN) through your hickman line.
