@lori57216 my husband was diagnosed in February 2022. His tumor was located in the lower abdomen right at the junction of his stomach. They did a round of chemo and radiation that was pretty hard on him. He was not able to eat or drink. He was hospitalized with dehydration / malnutrition and they put a G-tube (feeding tube into his stomach). It was a GAME CHANGER! He was then getting the nutrition he needed to fight!
He had surgery in July 2022 to remove the greatly reduced tumor and part of his stomach. They took at the G-tube and put in a J-Tube (this is inserted directly into your intestines). He still has it and gets 75% of his nutrition from enteral feeding. He is able to drink and eat (very small portions) and is getting stronger each day. Aside from a bout with COVID around thanksgiving, he’s doing really well.
You’ve got this! Stay strong, get your fluids and nutrition and try to be active. That helps physically and mentally!
