g tube

I have stage 4 ovarian cancer. I was recently diagnosed with a bowel blockage. Ng tube did not work so I now have a g tube for stomach drainage and tpm for nourishment.

I am to have chemo tomorrow cisplatin/gem which has worked for me in the past in shrinking my tumors.

I wanted to find out if anyone else has had a similar experience that they can share.

Thank you!
