Hi I’m just wondering if anyone else struggles to eat? My mum is waiting on biopsy results from her lung for metastatic kidney cancer. In the last couple of weeks she has lost over a stone and is struggling to eat and when she does she gets a thick acid sick feeling in her throat.  She still gets hungry but can’t eat a lot. Any experience or advice would be helpful. I’m assuming this is being caused by her kidney tumour? Thanks 

  • Hello  

    I am Brian, one of the Community Champions here on the Community. I have just noticed your post has gone unanswered. I can't answer it myself, however by me replying it will be "bumped up" to the top of the page nad I hope seen and answered by other members of the Kidney cancer group.

    I think it might be an idea in mum's case to contact her CNS (Cancer Nurse Specialist) or if one has not yet been allocated her GP to seek advice on this issue.

    I wish you well moving forward.

    Best wishes - Brian.
