Vomiting with a closed esophagus

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.

Thank you for your reply, Manz. So sorry you had to go through that. My mom just had her stent taken out and has the j-tube only now. She comes home after 3 weeks in hospital after what was supposed to be a simple outpatient procedure of putting the stent in. Hopefully she’ll get enough nourishment now to undergo her first radiation/chemo treatments. I hope you are doing well now. All the best!
