Hi everyone, can I ask what symptoms people have had with this horrid disease! Does anyone feel like there insides are being crushed in and also back pain! Also is it sore when swallowing! The only reason I ask as mum has this pain since stent and I am just wondering is it the tumour and the cancer or is it the stent, can’t figure it out! She said it’s like a shooting pain everytime she swallows and is now stopped eating anything! Just wondering if she didn’t have stent would this pain still have been the same regarding the tumour! Advice would be great guys thank you
Hi , I was just passing by and see that you've not had a response to your question I'm not a member of this group and don't know much about the condition but I hope that this response maybe will catch the eye of a member and result in a response as this will have bumped your question to the nearer the top of the posts.
If you are still concerned you are very welcome to repost your question in our Ask a Nurse page (just click on the green text and this will you directly to the nurses) you should expect to receive a response within 2bworkong days.
Hope this helps
