Welcome, starz.
It was definitely the case for me that sights and smells in the hospital would instantly make me nauseous. I don't think it is really "anticipatory". Although my room was not near the entrance, I could smell the arrival of the food carts and get sick before food got anywhere near me. The thought of food or a commercial on TV would do it too.
I agree with squirellypoo that you should ask for help for your husband's nausea. A feeding tube seems rather drastic at this stage. Has the doctor mentioned TPN (total parenteral nutrition)? With this method, liquid nutrition would be administered through his atrial catheter or PICC line in the same way he receives IV medications and transfusions.
Regards,
Ruth Cuadra
