Menus for Gastropesis Sufferer
I have stricturing of the antrum of the stomach due to cancer and I've also been diagnosed with gastropesis due to my
radiotherapy
treatment. I'm on a diet of soft food but I'm really struggling with trying to find meals I can eat without my stomach blocking. Can anybody help?

Any advice for a struggling runner?
Hi fellow travellers, I am writing for some advice regarding my running following my prostatectomy and then salvage
radiotherapy
. I have been a keen runner since my 40’s and became quite good at it, running most days and completing many marathons.

Rectal prolapse repair
I am scheduled to have rectal prolapse repair having previously had a hysterectomy and
radiotherapy
. The surgery was not keyhole. I am concerned about outcomes. Has anyone else had similar?

Can a small meningioma cause issues?
However, they will contact a hospital in Birmingham to check if the tumor is suitable for
radiotherapy
. 🤷♀️ I'm really annoyed because there must be a reason for it. I'm not myself and it interrupt my studies. Sorry for the rant. X

Results are back from Oncotype DNA test.
Hello ladies! Merry Christmas and a very Happy 2021 to you all! 12/16 my oncologist talked to me about having IV chemo, because he was worried about “distant” cancer, because cancer was found in one sentinel lymph node. I had a total of 18 lymph nodes removed but there was only cancer in the lymph node

Every month delayed in cancer treatment can raise risk of death by around 10%
Canadian and UK researchers found there was a significant impact on a person’s mortality if their treatment was delayed, whether that be surgical, systemic therapy (such as chemotherapy), or
radiotherapy
for seven types of cancer.

Post Radiation side effects
Hi all I’m curious, my dad was walking on a cane before radiation with frequent pain spells because the cancer spread to the bones particularly the femur head. After his radiation treatment, he’s been in so much pain and now requiring the wheelchair. It’s been 5 days since. Is this normal?
