Hi all,
My younger brother who is in his early forties was diagnosed with GOJ cancer last year In October 2019 he had a extended gastrectomy. He has been doing well post surgery with all the rules eating little and often... staying hydrated, and focusing on protein. However he has been suffering from severe cramps over the past 2 weeks. They come and go. He cannot see a pattern with them occuring straight after food... and has not expanded his diet much. Last night he was in a lot of discomfort and didn't sleep. The cramps are in the bowel area. He will not take any painkillers and is reluctant to contact his nurse. He thinks it will pass. He is due to schedule his B12 injection very soon... not sure what the symptons would be for a B12 deficiency. Does anyone have any advice in how i can encourage him to seek the right support or any suggestions in what may be able to help?
