Thanks everybody for sharing thoughts and experiences around this.
It's an issue I'm struggling with if the time comes where a feeding tube is recommended.
I can get my head around accepting a colostomy / stoma for a long-term unrelated illness, because I'm aware of the advantages and potential quality of life advantages.
My uncertainties around a feeding tube relate to some pre-MND diagnosis diaphragm and stomach problems (Crohn's and hiatus-hernia), regarding the practicalities around that, together with the psychological impact.
I did see this useful decision aid link in Thumbprint Magazine though:-
