  • A very warm welcome to the Cancer Chat community Fredi although I'm sorry about the trouble you're having with eating since having surgery a couple of months ago.

    Living with stomach cancer can be very difficult, especially when you're having difficulty swallowing, but I hope this advice we have on managing diet problems will be useful.

    Hopefully some of our members will be along soon to share their experiences and advice but we also have a team of cancer nurses you can get in touch with for further information and advice. You can either call them on 0808 800 4040 (phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m) or if it's easier, you can make a new post about this in their section of the forum called ask the nurses. They're very insightful and will do all that they can to help. 

    We're sending you all our support Fredi and wishing you the very best as you move forward on your journey.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
