My husband was diagnosed with the above last February the plan was to have the FLOT regime and then total stomach removal.  4 rounds of chemo ending end of May then middle of a July  it was an open and closed operation as the tumour appeared to have shrunk but had also stuck down to the pancreas.  He was then on a wait and see approach.  CT scan and monitor.  By October it was evident he was have difficulty eating again and being sick from secretions.

A swallow test showed the oesophagus was narrowing so has recently had a stent fitted.  Again there hasn’t been much improvement in eating as the secretions are causing him to be sick.  We are awaiting maintenance chemo 18 weeks delivered every 3 weeks.  In this whole time my husbands weight has gone down about 4 1/2 stone.  My question is has anyone suffered with the secretion and have you got any tips advice for dealing with this, apart from the build up drinks what foods are managing.  My husband is living off noodles/pasta/soups/soft diet on a good day but is very disheartened by it all.  Thanks in advance for any ideas.
