Dear All
My father was diagnosed with a GoJ adenocarcinoma back in September. Disease was local with some nodes and he proceeded with 4 cycles of FLOT and had extended gastrectomy in mid Jan. thankfully, he had had a complete pathological response to chemo and there was no visible tumour or spread in the nodes/no distal mets etc. He stayed in hospital for a week and came home to us thereafter. The oncology plan is for 4 more cycles of FLOT and hopefully that should be that. 4 weeks post op, he is on pureed food - daal, potatoes, rice, porridge, protein drinks … we are Indian and he mainly eats Indian food. Bowels - some days a lot of diarrhoea, 4-6 times a day, others more solid stool a couple of times a day. No dumping (yet).
Pre op his weight was 79kg, weight now is 74kg.
just wanted to ask about people’s experience of diet going forward, weight and bowels.
thank you
