My husband was very reluctant to have a PEG, he thought he could tough it out. When he met with the doctor to discuss it he mistakenly said Port instead of Peg not even knowing there was such a thing. The doctor was very quick to say we can give you one of those too. After we walked out of there I just had to laugh, here he was determined to not get a Peg and volunteers for a Port along with it. It was a good thing he did, lost 40 pounds and would of never made it since he could not eat a bite for weeks since food became just nauseating since it tasted foul or spoiled. (Didn't have much problems with nausea though, (upset stomach and throwing up) and he hardly took his nausea meds.
