RIP feeding tube

Hello Mushroom, your husband's struggle sounds so familiar. Has he not been offered a feeding tube at all by now? My husband had a PEG fitted prior start of treatment. His oncologist made him aware about the difficulties he would face in advance. And was he right. By week 3 my husband couldn't get anything down orally. Inwithin weeks he lost a lot of weight. Feeding him through the PEG wasn't easy,as he was asleep for most of the day,so I had to feed him.To get some extra calories through the PEG he tried HAUL bottles.His body tolerated these better then the Ensures,funny enough. We managed to keep his weight steady that way.It took a few weeks after treatment finished when he was able to swallow softish food, also taste took a while to get back to normal. All the best.
