Stomach or Oesophageal cancer - Stent

Hi every person and case is different,  the actual fitting of then stent  can be uncomfortable but once in place it should not cause much discomfort . Mine has been in since last July, whilst i have had issues it is not down to the physical attributes of the stent but the way my cancer has progressed.

Thank you for responding, it’s appreciated.

kind regards 

My brother has a stent.  It has worked well and allowed him to eat again.  It did have to be changed recently as it cracked.  Overall though it has worked well.

My son had stomach cancer. His stent gave him an extra 5 weeks of life. I don't think it gave him any pain. And it enabled him to eat more easily and without being sick. Immediately after it was fitted it was OK, then next day very bad, lots of vomiting, then the day after that it settled and he improved considerably and was able to leave hospital and come back home for his five remaining weeks. Obviously we are all different, I can only tell you his experience.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate you doing this. 

Yes of course there are no guarantees, thank you so much for taking the time to let me know your experience and I’m so sorry to hear it’s your son. So hard - sending you lots of love. x
