Hi. My first posting.

I started having difficulty swallowing in June which alarmed me as my husband died from OC 10 years ago. I've been diagnosed with cancer in the GOJ in the last few weeks and an MRI shows that it has spread to my liver so I am not suitable for surgery. I will be meeting with the oncologist in 10 days to discuss a treatment plan. 

I was able to eat most solids ok until the last 2 weeks and I am now on a liquids only diet. I'm having a stent fitted on Wednesday. Does anyone have any advice on living with a stent please?
