Not even sure if this is correct. I&amp;#39;m now 14 months post esophageal opp and although I&amp;#39;ve just had my 14th dialatation still having murders trying to eat. I really do not want to go to a feeding tube as I feel it&amp;#39;ll be a step backwards on all the work that&amp;#39;s been done by some incredible people. I&amp;#39;m not too bad with fluids and weight is stable.. I guess I&amp;#39;m trying to get advice on the best way to manage my food I intake and maybe some pointers with the best things to try and eat. Hopefully someone out there who has experienced this may be able to give me some pointers. I am incredibly lucky to have two fantastic Macmillan nurses and an equally brilliant medical team supporting me. But it&amp;#39;s the people who go through this who can help others like me to &amp;quot;adapt&amp;quot; with the eating thing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I really hope this makes sense and am more than happy to discuss this with anyone.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I originally had non Hodgkin lymphoma in 2000 and have been in remission with that for many years, last year was a very big learning curve for me and my family when I took this new cancer in and hopefully stayed ahead of it..&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wish you all well and look forward to hearing from anyone with advice or just a supporting chat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=719625&amp;AppID=40769&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Bondy.</name><uri>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/b769e81a83464ae49230e84923ae7e3d</uri></author><category term="Eating" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/bondy-s-blog/archive/tags/Eating" /><category term="Lymphoma" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/bondy-s-blog/archive/tags/Lymphoma" /><category term="Hodgkin Lymphoma" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/bondy-s-blog/archive/tags/Hodgkin%2bLymphoma" /><category term="weight" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/bondy-s-blog/archive/tags/weight" /><category term="remission" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/bondy-s-blog/archive/tags/remission" /><category term="fluids" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/bondy-s-blog/archive/tags/fluids" /></entry></feed>
