My dad had an Ivor Lewis operation nearly 18 months ago. In the passes 2 months he has lost about a stone and has muscle pain in his diaphragm- he says it’s like he has done abs training- but in the top bit. He has lost his appetite ans can’t sleep. 

His GP is monitoring, but we are getting pretty concerned and not sure which way for go. Dad is pretty passive 8in some ways and will follow the process a bit- so is waiting to see if sleeping tablets help- or if he loses more weight. 

Have any of you had diaphragm pain? What would you do?!

Many thanks x
