Just came across this site and have joined - all your accounts gives me a bit of hope I thought stent placement meant a death sentence in about five months -
My husband is getting a oesophageal stent placed next Thursday. cancer was detected in January (also in stomach) and at the time decided on the Breuss diet, Fas I've beaten cancer in 1992 that way. for four weeks he was getting better, stronger and we thought we'd win when things took a turn - excessive internal bleeding from stomach ulceration - and he was rushed to hospital. Has been there ever since on tube feed (through nose into lower stomach)
He's very weak, can just about sit up for 20 minutes it's a huge effort for him. Tube feed is only safe for six weeks. Hoping that with a stent he can come home and we could help with as many gentle holistic cures out there as possible.
Also investigating possibility of operation when and if Gary gets stronger ...
