My 85 yr old mom was diagnosed with OC in January, no treatment just palliative care due to other comorbidities. She was being sick so the nurse gave her some medication which worked wonders for about 2 wks. Now she’s struggling with her stomach saying it feels like it’s in knots and really uncomfortable. She can eat very small amounts and often but I just don’t know what’s happening in her stomach. Also, every now and then she can’t eat or brings back the few mouthfuls she has just eaten. She says she’s not in pain it’s an awful feeling that she can’t describe. This is really upsetting me watching her struggle daily. Anybody else had this same feeling that my mom is enduring?

I'm sorry to read how much discomfort your mum is in and I really feel for you both. I presume she's spoken again to her cancer nurse specialist to see if there's anything they can do?

I'm not a member of this forum but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again. I'm sure some of the forum members will be along soon if they have experienced anything similar.

When you feel up to it, it would be great if you could put something about your mum's diagnosis into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'.
