Hi again all,

Does anybody else get a nauseous feeling in their chest now again with this type of cancer? I’m newly diagnosed and haven’t had any treatment as of yet but I sometimes feel a bit sick in my chest. It thankfully doesn’t last very long. Thinking about it though I’ve had these feelings now and again for months - a lot longer than the feeling of food being stuck in my chest?

Thank you in advance. Sorry I can’t answer many of anyone else’s questions yet but it’s early days at the moment 

  • Do you get it when you eat certain sort of things like beef or lamb? What made me think that something was wrong was I had a weird feeling just below my throat it was really difficult to describe when I ate more solid foods. I imagine it's the food rubbing on the tumour? This got worst for me up until treatment where I had to go to a purely liquid diet. Maybe try softer foods and making sure you really chew everything down before swallowing. 

  • Thanks vinny but it’s not when I’m eating as such, it’s usually other times. Apart from a little bit of chicken in a stir fry or a sauce I don’t eat any other meat. I feel a bit more fortunate at the moment than others with same condition as I can still eat most foods, although they are often feeling stuck as they go down and my gullet feels a bit sore for a couple of hours after eating. Take care and thank you for your support 

  • Mention it to your oncologist it's important to tell them about all symptoms as I'm sure they seen it before. My eating and how I feel got a lot better after treatment started I hope you feel better from it too buddy.

  • Thank you vinny, and glad you’re feeling better. I’ve got my appointment tomorrow to discuss the PET scan result and presumably the plan of action from here 

  • Good luck tomorrow buddy please do share with us what you hear back as we are here to support Slight smile

  • Good luck tomorrow - will be thinking of you 

  • Thanks both of you, I will do
