Sherry,
My husband had a PEG for about 6 months. About three weeks into chemo/rad treatment, he stopped eating overnite...thank God the PEG was in and ready. He couldn't eat for about 5 months and never would have made it w/o the PEG. A naso-gastric was never mentioned by any docs to us.
God bless,
Debbie
