Hi there, I'm very concerned about my Mum who has been diagnosed with advanced oesophageal cancer. We've been told she probably won't start chemo until after Christmas and in the last week and a half has started to struggle to keep much food down. Everything is blended so is as liquid as it could be but 3 hours or so after she is bringing quite a lot of it back up and is having very little to start with.
I have discussed the option of a stent twice now with the consultant but they keep talking Mum out of it saying its probably not necessary yet and can cause a lot of pain plus other complications. Has anyone here experience of having one fitted? Did the good outweigh the bad? She is losing weight and is tired all the time. I don't quite know whether I am overreacting and that this level of regurgitation is normal or whether I should be pushing back with the doctor a bit more.
