Oesophagel cancer

Hi ya, 

I am wondering whether it is worth having a conversation with your regular pharmacist as to what of your medications are available in liquid form? Then once you know you can have a discussion with your Oncologist or Doctor as to what alternative liquid medications there are available that may be used in place of your normal medicaiton. 

I am sorry I can't help further but maybe asking the experts in this field is the best suggestion.

Hi,

My wife has to take medication for a couple of other conditions, and was on an nasogastric feeding tube for several months before her Ivor Lewis operation, and on a jejumostomy feeding tube for about six weeks thereafter.

Some of her medication was changed to liquid form; and some of it we crushed (using a pill crusher) and injected it in solution via the tubes.

Summary: there will be no problem taking your meds - so please don't get concerned about it. Clearly, though, speak to your medical team to confirm the best approach for your particular meds - they will help you make whatever arrangements are necessary.
