Runny Nose

Hello. I wonder if anyone can help?  Steve, my husband is now 7 months post op for Oesophageal Cancer and 4 months post his last chemo treatment.  He's going really well and has put 2 of the 4 stone he lost back on.  He feels fine and is back to work almost full time after 10 months off.  However, he continues to suffer with a runny nose during/after eating, although nowhere near so severe.  It was one of the first symptoms he had before he was diagnosed.  Its probably a throw back to his chemo but I'm beginning to worry it's come back.  Anybody out there got any words of wisdom/reassurance or advice?

Thanks all

  • Hi there just read your post i know its a while ago

    just wondering  how you husband went on with this. Im 3 years on from oesophageal cancer but have just developed these symptoms myself and they were present before my cancer diagnosis.  I too am worried its come back.  I have an endoscopy Thursday and im extremely worried. Thanks 

  •  Hello there, I’m sorry you are suffering with the dreaded runny nose. In Steve’s case the chemo  killed all his nasal hairs and therefore there was nothing to stem the flow. 

     In itself it was nothing to worry about. 

     Fingers crossed everything goes okay for you

    . Whatever you are doing, keep doing it – so, so chuffed when I hear of people surviving this. 

     

     

     

  • Hi SusanRuth,

    I am so sorry I've just realised that your husband has passed away. My heartfelt sympathy. No need to reply just know my thoughts are with you.

    Milly
