My partner had a stent fitted last Thursday, he’s been in pain ever since. I called the red card and they said he needed to go to a&e straight away as he may have a blockage . QE admitted him last Monday , he’s now had a barium swallow to see what’s going on ! Luckily there’s no blockage. But he’s still in pain and still not eating ( that’s a concern) the doctors have said his stent needed to be moved as it had taken a sharp turn . My concern is that it won’t settle due to the tumour being too big (12cm)… can anyone give me any advise as I’m really worried about him getting food down .
Thanks for reading x
Hello Heartbreak 123
I want to bump your post up if that is ok, I do not have enough information on Stents to be able to answer your question.
How is your partner doing now?

He has been terrible since this has been fitted, it took a sharp turn, so it was hurting him resulting him having another stent fitted. The tumour is growing so it’s pushing against it . He’s having
o sleep he explains it feels like he’s better my suffocated. It’s awful ! He’s on new chemo now called campo. Let’s see if this shrinks it what did you mean by bulk it up ?
