Stephen had stent fitted Tuesday. He is disappointed as no real improvement with eating. Still only eating small amounts of clear soup and ice cream anything else is difficult to get down. I keep saying give it time as this is what they said at hospital. Can anyone tell.me if it does get easier once it has had time to settle. He is now only 9 stone originally 14 stone and is very weak. This is really our last hope as we have no other options. Very distressing watching him fading away and not being able to do anything.
My dad had a stent. It helped him eat for a few weeks longer. He said, however, he himself wished he had not had it on reflection. I suppose everyone is different and must try what they want to try on the advice they are given at the time. Dad would have probably only have lasted a few days without his stent because he couldn’t eat or drink at all when he had it. He said he felt ‘frightened’ into having it done. He had 7 or so more weeks with us. But I don’t know if it was for the best. They weren’t his best weeks. Sorry for anyone going through this, on an incurable diagnosis - and to their families.

Morning, been a rough weekend with the new chemo side effects 
but saw a young girl on Country File last night who had similar symptoms bless her, the two girls were such an inspiration. How’s you both doing? X
