Mechanical Difficulties

There is an obvious development of nodes high up in my oesophagus and it is making it very difficult for me to eat anything.

The stent clears the way for food to get through the main obstruction i.e. where the oesophagus meets the stomach but there is no help for much higher up.

My previous diet was very diary based but the high obstruction is causing sickness through the creation of mucous.  I have got around this by eating a more solid diet, but now I cannot get the solids down.

It is a worrying development and one which may have been around for a while.  It may be that I am seeing the  effect now because of the new to move away from what was a much softer food diet.

Either way it is not helpful.

Fortunately I am back in hospital on Tuesday, so a good chat is needed to see how we move forward before I start to panic!

  2. Hi Rumps

    Hope you are all enjoying "family time"
    Fingers crossed that the doc's can fix something on the food intake. I used to work near the Royal Marsden and they had a fantastic reputation so here's hoping they can sort it out for you.
    Best wishes to the amazing Kitten, stay strong.
