Hi. I was diagnosed with oesophagus cancer in 2019. Had my surgery within 3mths.
My surgery involves making a new gullet out of my stomach a pull up. Surgery went well was in hospital for 14days.
Within 4 days of getting home I started to suffer with dumping syndrome which was very painful. The weight started to fall off really fast and within 5mths I'd lost 3st. I started to have pain when trying to eat and had to be put on a feed nj tube. The comi g months got worse with sickness fatigue and bowel problems.. I then got severe kidney problems which lead to a operation I also have had 15 dilation surgery's as the site closes up choking me when I drink..
To date iv gone from 11st to 6st and still losing iv now got a permanent feeding tube in my small bowel.
Even though I'm cancer free my life is non existent I don't have energy to do most things and rely on my girls.
A never would have guessed that saving my life would end up costing me my life.
