Mom 57 Diagnosed with Stage 3 Adenocarcinoma - Looking for experiences

@goldenshadow Hi Goldenshadow. I’m about to experience the exact same treatment starting next week. I’m nervous about all of it. Even the simplest thing of how to adjust to a wedge pillow is stressful.
How was the pain and discomfort after surgery? How was eating after surgery? How much weight did you lose?
I’m concerned about losing too much weight for the first time ever! How was your eating after surgery and how is it now?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
