A difficult journey so far

My husband has a JEJ feeding tube fitted into his duodenum .It was fitted when he had  a laparoscopy to stage his OC ..by this time he had lost over three stone in weight and was so weak he couldn’t walk ..He couldn’t even swallow his saliva .We had a similar problem with the NG line last year and we were told the JEJ tube would be more effective..He's had it in since July of last year throughout all his treatment and surgery and it really did make a difference as it bypasses the oesophagus and stomach so the feed goes directly into the small intestine ..Maybe you could ask if this would be possible for your wife ..Im so sorry you’re having a hard time and hope things improve for your wife and you soon 

After she managed to sick up her first tube they tried to fit that type of tube but becomes of the blockage could not. She has also now been put on an injection anti sickness drug. Still can't get enough food or liquid in. It does not help having to travel to Poole hospital 1hour 45 minutes each way, and deal with different regains.  Poole, Salisbury, Bournemouth, and Southampton  hospitals

Ah right ..We had the opposite problem of him not being able to have the tube going down his nose as it couldn’t be passed through  the blockage in the junction between his oesophagus and stomach ..I hope the anti sickness meds work for your wife soon
