Hi I’m new here - my mum in law has stage 4 oesophageal cancer she had palliative radiotherapy in February - she has started to vomit mucus by the bucket load generally after eating - this isn’t a gular occurrence yet but I believe it is something that will become more frequent
does anyone know if anything that helps with this / my mum in law gets quite distressed when this happens as it can last for several hours. Unfortunately she is type I diabetic too so can cause hypos as she cannot keep anything down when these episodes happen x
