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
