Had a stent fitted to my throat about a month ago due to somach cancer closing up oesophagus.seeing oncology this week to start palliative chemo.
Just trying to find options diet-wise as now find 90% of previous foodstuffs no good and need to get in better shape after couple of months of hospital etc.
Seems likely I'll have less appetite soon and as it stands I don't have a great enthusiasm so suggestions welcome!
Hi Milesac5a3e and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, although I've had different cancer diagnoses to you.
The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the stomach cancer group as you'll then connect directly with others who have the same type of cancer as you.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
