I am concerned about the blood in the vomit. That is not right. A stomach bleed that generates dark vomit, might also result in dark stools. Is this happening? None of his meds should be causing a stomach bleed, I would want the doctors to be checking out his PEG system, and more. This is the first time this has been reported on these boards and that makes me feel something is amiss.
Besides his oncologists he must have seen a gastro doc to have the PEG put in. That person would be my first phone call since you are getting a dismissal attitude from the other docs.
