Hi, Has anyone had a problem with the peg tube if vomiting occurs due to the treatment? Richard isn't prone to nausea and the anti-nausea drugs are supposed to be really effective, but we were curious about what might happen. Coughing is bad enough and he can't imagine throwing up. I know the peg tube will help with nutrition and fluids, but it is such an odd thing to have in your body. I guess you get used to it after awhile. Thanks, Geri
