My mum is 74 and has secondary endometrial cancer in lungs and lymph. She has been put on Provera whilst we await a decision on treatment by the MDT.
She has always struggled with IBS and this got worse after her brachytherapy in 2016. She is struggling to eat (eg gets bloated after just half a pot of yoghurt or even a cup of mint tea) She has no appetite after a week of taking them although this started a day or so before she began the Provera so not sure it’s caused by that of if it’s something else. Last scan on 22.5.21 showed that all her organs were fine apart from lung tumour and lymph tumour pressing on her windpipe but windpipe is near your oesophagus right?
Anyone else had similar issues with these symptoms?
I’m really worried about it. She also has pain radiating in her mid back area.
Thank you in advance for any comments:)
Hi and . to the Online Community, I'm sorry to read your Mum's having problems eating. Here's the link to the booklet NannyAnny mentioned Eating problems and Cancer you might find some answers there. You could also Ask a Nurse here on the forum but there may be a delay of a day or two until you get a reply.
We've all learnt to make a lot of noise and it does pay to be persistent.
Sending hugs, Barb x
