Dad had an appointment at hospital yesterday after getting jej tube in 3weeks ago .he's lost nearly a stone and they don't understand it.

They seem to think there might be a bleed or it may have spread.

Waiting on results of ct scan.Hes stage 3 at the minute unable to get chemotherapy and operation.

Just gutted but the good news he's so positive and upbeat x

    Just got ct scan results to say it hasn't spread which is great news.As he's only 5and half stone they won't be doing chemo as he's too frail.

    Talk of a stent going in all ifs and buts.

    Anyone help with what happens and how long if no treatment.

    Appreciate it I'm going out if my mind with worry x

  • Hi, I’m so sorry to hear about your dad that is awful news. Are they fitting a feeding tube or doing anything to help him gain weight as my dad had a feeding tube fitted when he was too weak to eat and that helped him gain quite a bit of weight! 

    Dan I ask how old your dad is? When my dads operation failed they told us 6 months to a year with no treatment but he is only 53 and was very fit and healthy before he got cancer so I’m not sure if this changes anything.

    Thank you for your reply.

    Dad has a jej feeding tube they're not sure how he lost weight.Theyre upping his feed to 12hours and possibly putting a stent in.

    He will be 70 in July.So sorry to hear about your husband he is so young.

    It's an awful disease it's a rollercoaster of emotions xx
