Hi ladies, I have Mets to the stomach and bones. After eating I suffer with chronic pain and wind in the stomach. I know that mets to the stomach is unusual, but I wondered if anyone else suffered from this and can advise my on anything I can take. I am on letrozole and instance.

Best wishes to all you ladies x

Hi I have stomach, rectal, rib and spine Mets. Now one in a lymph node. I had a gastrojujunectomy - stomach resectioned in August. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks.

My stomach is an issue. I have gone vegetarian. Eat fish and home grown eggs from a coworker.

I follow a Fodmap diet of sorts. I work and always go out for lunch. Today I had Manhattan clam chowder topped with spinach, mushrooms and cheese. My cancer is estrogen based and mushrooms remove estrogen. I make carrot and celery juice. ( not too much celery as it runs through fast)

I have cut out onions and garlic.

Hope this helps. I am here to help where I can.

The stomach is not the usual place for Mets.

Have a great weekend. Smile. It makes things brighter.

Hi Renee, thanks for the advice. I am careful on what I eat, never been a big meat eater. My mets are estrogen based as well. I had lobular cancer 14 years ago and found I had mets last year. Can't operate as they are in the stomach lining, but seem to be under control at the moment. My husband and I do a lot of laughing and holiday a lot, which gives us something to look forward to. Someone has suggested charcoal capsules, or probiotic capsules. I live in the UK and have a wonderful team that looks after me, they said it is rare to have Mets in the stomach. I wish you well and hope you also have people around you that give you great support.

I take my ibrance and Arimidex with my dinner at night. I take the Arimidex while I’m eating then the ibrance after I eat. Just make sure you have a full stomache with the meds.
