Hi Bodmin, firstly, *** news about the diagnosis, you must be feeling awful.

I was diagnosed back in June 22 and still fight the disease. There is hope and treatment that can help control or eradicate the disease.

There are lots off chat rooms and the ones I found most helpful and easily accessible were on facebook.

Macmillan nurses if you don't get immediate help from the oncology team. www.macmillan.org.uk, cancerresearchuk.org

Contact your oncology team and doctor and tell them about the eating difficulties.

Request an appointment and ask about liquid foods like esure. You can also buy at pharmacies supermarkets but you should be given this asap under prescription.

Don't wait, I did and lost so much weight it nearly killed me before I was provided treatment.

Ask about feeding tube or stent as soon as possible in case swallowing becomes more difficult.

I had a feeding tube fitted and it saved my life. Stents can also be installed. Ask, demand and survive.

Be vocal in your concerns and insist that options and help is given as soon as possible

Good luck, you can beat this,

Regards,

Bill
