Hi. I am an 80 yr old great grandmother recently diagnosed with an adenocarcinoma at the base of the oesophagus. I,m too old for surgery and too feeble, due to other health issues, for chemo or radiation. They have inserted a stent which goes into the top of my stomach, which creates its own problems, including pain. Unfortunately I react very badly to opioids, as they increase my pain levels. II am left with little option other than paracetamol. Which takes the edge off but it’s not enough. I am taking laxatives for constipation and have some vomiting butt mostly liquid as I have no appetite. I now feel defeated and can find no answers.
