I almost talked myself out of the port, but I asked my Doc how many more chemos, he said 5, I went ahead and did it. When We got home, there were two boxes of jevity 1.5 waiting on us. Since it was so late, I decided to just try water thru the tube today and they want me to start with just one can per day since I still can eat anything and drink normally. Once I start eating less they want me to build up to 6 to 7 cans per day.
Oops, when I decided to flush the tube the first time, I was freaking out a little because it just would not go down the tube, I said, first time and the thing is clogged. When I disconnected the syringe, I noticed I did NOT pull the cover off from the tip. I removed the tip cover and the flush went fine.
