Not to steal your thread....I did take my anti nausea meds but after a while nothing seemed to work and the pain left swallowing as a real chore and even if I was able to swallow I would usually get nauseated so I, being the MAN that I am, would lie to my wife when she came home and said " how many cans did you drink today?". Then I would get dehydrated and the BIG C would follow along with more nausea so that's where the PEG would have come in real handy. Sometimes being a MAN gets in the way of progress.
