Michelle, I haven't used my feeding tube since I had my surgery in the beginning of June. My doctor just tells me that it will be removed after Radiation. I clean it every day and don't have a problem with it. Like Jim says though it is like a jail sentence. I want to tell you a funny story. I'm not a snob, pretty humble especially after this happened to me. So there I was in Walmart, buying pedialite, with foodstamps, and then my tube falls out because the tape stinks! It was the trifecta! The proudest moment of my life so far! I just blew it off. Pretty funny huh? I was upset because the biotene was denied from foodstamps. I should have had a 12 pack of soda and a bag of chips, they would accept that. I am waiting untill it gets bad before I use the tube. The cancer center said that they have liqquid supplement for me. I was surprised about that. Also the Chemo center down the road said they have anti nausea drugs but nothing specific. I don't even know if the hospital has a pharmacy. I will ask tommorrow.
