So hello  again, I,m Maurice , I was diagnosed end May and will be starting Chemo tomorrow 24th Aug.  I,m feeling pretty low right now and convinced treatment has been to long coming.

I am being fed by NG tube and sick of the sight of liquid feed 12 hours a day is too much.  Is constant saliver in mouth and a bad taste common with this illness?     It's  driving me mad.  I really don't  think I have quiet accepted or realise my situation which bothers me as well.   I have opted to be operated on with removal of the cancer and having the stomach reattached higher up the oesophagus,,  doctors say I am a good candidate for this but I must stay strong which is where I am failing.   I would love to hear from anyone who has had this proceedure and how they got on.
