Hi
Husband has 4 FLOT, TG, then another 4 FLOT 2.5 years ago after being diagnosed stage 3 stomach carcinoma. Returned to very normal life very quickly, highly unusual but he considered himself very lucky. Things have changed drastically in the past 9 months. Lots of bile reflux and vomiting episodes mainly bile, he is struggling to keep fluids or solids down. Multiple scopes have identified a blockage, biopsies taken from inside reconstructed bowel show no signs of dysplasia or malignancy, multiple CT’s show no sign of recurrence, PET CT shows no sign of malignancy or disease either. Endoscopiees can only get so far down because of the blockage and the surgeon won’t give an answer on what it is that’s causing this or how it can be fixed. The sickness can last for hours at a time. Has anybody else experienced anything like this and if so what was the outcome?
