It sounds like a sacrifice indeed and you are brave. Do you still have some lingering issues from the surgery besides the frequent small meals? Also, did you have a robotic surgery or a traditional one? Thank you so much. I really hope she will consider surgery, but I must only support her through whatever she chooses.

I do still have times where certain foods are difficult to eat. Steak and chicken sometimes give me an issue and go down slowly causing discomfort. I just have to eat slowly. I get dumping syndrome sometimes, particularly if I have too much sugar at once. There are also times where I'm fatigued, but that is probably a long term side effect from immunotherapy. My surgery was robotic assisted, minimally invasive performed at Mayo by Dr. Steven Wigle. Despite my challenges, I'd make the same decision. I also think I'll feel better as time continues. I'm happy to help in any way possible if I can help further.
