I have just been diagnosed and I have been struggling also with food going down.I have not been able to eat meat for months as it lodges in my throat and the only way I could ever clear it was by being sick.I am awaiting surgery which I am very nervous about.
Hello,Hubby is mainly having Soups ,homemade or bought also porridge or Ready Brek which is smoother.Yes surgery is a big thing but if it offers a cure then thats the way to go.David is not fit enough for surgery so he faces gruelling chemo and radiotherapy to shrink it He was also advised to get calories as weight loss is inevitable.
I am having to eat softer options ,it is a big adjustment but I am prepared to do whatever it takes to get through this.Regards to you and your husband ut is a difficult time.
I had my operation in August 23 . I lost 9.5 stone but I was a big lad to start with . Its going to be a hard road I am sorry to say . All of us have great support around us to get us through this xx
I know it's have to have the surgery but I am so scared I know it's going to be a long recovery which also makes me worry about finances and how I am going to pay my bills.
