advanced stomach cancer that has already spread to the liver. My question is, the sufferer is having severe difficulties swallowing. Might there be something that can be done to alleviate this symptom or is it as we suspect spread to his oesophagus
I'm sorry to read of the sufferer's diagnosis and that they are having severe difficulties swallowing at the moment. It may be a good idea to get in touch with their doctor, specialist nurse or someone from the symptom control team (if they have one) to let them know what is going on as they will be able to let you know if anything can be done to make this more manageable. You can give our cancer nurses a call next week if you'd like to discuss this with them. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040 (freephone).
Hopefully you'll receive some tips and advice from some of our members who have been in this situation too.
