Hi all hospital reluctant to let me leave hospital due to no aspiration they it stopped coming out to do ph levels x ray confirmed NG tube has not moved and in right place they tried everything I need to get home after a week in here due to server vomiting after first cycle of immunotherapy any advice .
Oh Bradlou that's really bad luck. I'm so sad that even though you're in hospital they can't offer you a PEG.
I vomited my tube out once and I would have thought it was a chancy option for somebody vomiting in the first place.
I hardly ever managed to get anything out of my NG tube to test.
Is there any chance you can get district nurse to visit you at home? Would they consider that as an option?

Hi Bradlou. When my hubby couldn’t get anything iutbtontest he would put a syringe full of lukewarm tea in and then try a minute or so later it seemed to unblock it. Don’t know I don’t youncoikdn ask hospital if they could try that ? Or like Dani says put a peg in for you !

Yes that would work. If you started coughing like mad you'd know it wasn't in the right place ;)
