I had the stent put in back in 2021. It was originally supposed to be the first thing done. It was postponed and I had been in chemo and radiation for a couple of weeks before it was done. It was the worst of my treatment and had to be taken out a week later, and a j tube put in place. Honestly I had issues with swallowing and vomiting was never a serious side effects until the stent. Hindsight stay with the feeding tube.
