Hi 

my partner has just got to the stage where he can’t eat and it’s so worrying he’s lost a lot of weight and has a PEG feeding tube which makes him feel nauseous and feels like he’s going to pass out .

I am so worried he’s not getting enough nourishment any advice would be gratefully accepted 

  • Hello Barbieboo1963

    I'm sorry to hear that your partner is struggling at the moment. Please do get in touch with his specialist nurse or the team responsible for his care for advice and support about the issues that he's experiencing. They will be best placed to check things, adjust any medication to help with the nausea and offer advice about his nutrition. 
    I hope that things improve soon. 

    Best wishes, 
    Jenn
