Hi there, just wondering if anyone has any experience with radiotherapy? My husband is stage 4 mets to liver originally and most recent scan shows mets to stomach and lung now. His oncologist suggested radiotherapy to the stomach to ease pain and hopefully enable him to eat a little more. He has only had two doses and his stomach has been in agony after each one, the radiologist did say that pain is normal but this seems quite bad. Thanks 

  • Hello  

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

    It may be an idea to join and post in the Radiotherapy group - others there may have has the same or similar treatment. Here's the link you need;

    I hope this helps.

    Best wishes - Brian.
