Yes! I had the GJ tube removed Friday (3/3) - never used it, but had to wait for the sutures to decompose. Cleared to eat pretty much everything, just in small portions! Had my first salad with 2 pcs of red radish and 4 slices of cucumbers last evening. No issues! My onco appt is this Tuesday, will see what he will say - Probably starting the Lanreotide ( or similar). 4 wks after surgery - still have not gone outside walking, no driving yet. Guess my invasive surgery needed more recovery time...I' ll take it! My husband is very supportive and helpful in any occasions, for whom I am thankfull!
May God put His arms around you all and help you heal!

That is great that you are able to eat what you want, @pavlina60. Yes, small meals are the best right now. It is great that your husband is so supportive. That means so much!

Your appointment on Tuesday should help you with understanding your treatment and follow up. What do you need to know at the appointment with the oncologist? Do you have some questions prepared for this appointment?
