Hi everyone I hope that you are all keeping as well as can be . Just a bit of advice please. My mom was diagnosed with stage 3 osephagus squamous cell cancer in August 2021. Since diagnosis she has lost nearly 3 stone in weight. On January 1st a stent was fitted to widen her osephagus. Her sickness still didn't stop . She was then put on an NJ feeding tube during the night which at first helped then her weight dropped again and it was removed a week ago .The pain from the stent is really bad and we are administering 3ml morphine and paracetamol during the day and night. She also has morphine patches. Mostly we are struggling on her diet. She is vegetarian and doesn't eat eggs or fish. We have been giving her soups, weetabix, a fortisip a day and a desert and 2 hot drinks. This is all she can manage. The nurse has told us not give her soup as it could be causing the pain due to acid buildup. Can someone please advise help me as we are really struggling and dont know much about this cancer
