Sounds like Peg Wars bravado is back lol. I'm pro-peg, nasal too, if needed. All have pros and cons, and other factors are included in the need, which can be lifesaving. I had two peg tubes, still have one, and had to do TPN feedings also. One thing not often discussed, is a rare risk of cancer seeding from the primary in head and neck cancers from peg insertion during the endoscopy to the the stomach/peg, which can mimic infection in the area, so that should be monitored.
