I am on my last week of radiotherapy for oesophageal cancer. I have had no problems apart from tiredness and brief nausea have been fine.
Yesterday I had bad ache/pain in the mid stomach area. Paracetamols eventually had some effect. I was afraid to eat anything solid in case it got worse.
I am putting it down to the radiotherapy treatment. If anybody else has had this, is it normal ?
Thanks
Angela
Hello Angela (Normal4Norfolk )
I am Brian, one of the Community Champions here at Macmillan. I have just noticed your post has gone unanswered. I can't answer it myself as I have a different cancer, however by me replying your post will be "bumped up" to the top of the group and I hope be seen and answered by other members of the Oesophageal cancer group.
I trust your final week of radiotherapy is going well and would suggest you speak to both your nursing team and the radiology team regarding the pain.
Best wishes - Brian.
