Nasal gastric tube

I had an NG tube fitted for a different reason and it wasn't as bad as I expected.

I am a retired nurse and have fitted many myself over the years and used to think that I would hate to have it done but like I said it wasn't too bad. Infact removing it was more unpleasant than it going in!

Good Luck with your RT I hope it all go's smoothly for you.

All the best love Julie xx

Thanks Julie I hope in the end i dont need it but i always worry so much just had to know

Love Jan x

I managed without a gastric tube, but like Jujuc had one fitted years ago for a differant reason and as she says it's not so bad remember they tend to tell you about the worst things that can happen its not a nice thing to go through  but you will be surprized at what you can go through and come out the other end my radiotherapy finished last week and I was dreading it but it is over now and I can begin to look forward once again

Hello Jan. Think I may have mentioned when I had a nasogastric tube on a PM to you - but it wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. It was necessary as I did have a bad reaction to the radiation and I just couldn't manage enough nutrition otherwise. To be honest, it was a blessing for me at the time, so don't think having one as a bad thing. It's an easy way to get the medicine down ! Love, Joycee xx

Hi Jan,

A piece of doddle I had one in for 6 mths,no probnlem going in and I must disagree with Julie no problem coming out. Sorry Julie, people are different.

In fact Jan my nasal/gasric tube is hanging on the wall beside my computer. It makes a good talking point..

Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx
