Sherry, welcome. I had a peg and still lost 50 pounds during treatment. I recommend them highly and feel they should be installed as a normal part of treatment. At the end of rad, I couldn't even talk or swallow my own saliva, so a peg was the only way I made it through. Urge your husband to get the feeding tube. I don't know about a naso tube. Does that mean it is inserted through the nose? I don't know but I do know that after my tonsilectomy, which I thought was the worst thing to happen to me ever, was nothing in comparison to radiation treatment. The last week and the first few weeks after treatment ended are the worst. Without the peg I would have shriveled up and blown away. We are all different, but I highly recommend pegs during this treatment. Insertion and removal are very simple, so I would urge Ken to get it done. Will pray for guidance for you both.
