Thanks very much for your reply I am taking domperidone anti sickness tablet before meals , sertraline twice daily, COC prototocol astorvastatin 2 a day, metformin 1 a day, one month doxycycline one a day ,then next month vermox one a day, 1 digestisyme tablet, 3 curcumin, 1 ashwaganda,and 2 reishi mushroom  capsules for early morning nausea 1 prochloperazine.I have discussed it with dietician and they gave me complan.Here is what I ate yesterday. 11.30am Breakfast bowl of porridge with whole milk 10 red grapes, slice of brown toast butter n' jam 1 cup green tea, 1 hour later pkt of crisps and complan drink,5.30pm potatoes, brussel sprouts half a chicken breast in gravy, 1 flake, bowl of watermelon cup of green tea, 7.30pm bottle of fortisip this is all I can force myself to eat as my food is not digesting quickly staying in my foodpipe longer and if I tryto eat more I feel really nauseous.I had no appetite weight loss and nausea before I went to see dr about these symptoms which led to me being diagnosed with secondary breast cancer which showed up in right mammary lymph node but they could'nt find primary but think it is breast as lymph node biopsy is breast cancer they say primary is too small to see on a scan.Ijust really do not feel good with this nausea forcing myself to eat and weight loss.Dr at hospital thinks its great scan only showed cancer in lymph node and nowhere else which is good, says herceptin every 3 weeks will work great but I'm not going to last long losing weight every week.Just don't know what else I can do and noone else with this disease seems to have theses ongoing symtoms.But thanks for your reply much appreciated. ...

Hi Ella Robb thankyou for being so thoughtful and replying to me .There isn't much to post I'm afraid I'm sitting here in tears as I'm typing this I just can't come to terms with it I just feel like my life is totally over. The breast nurse has even set up skype sessions with a psychologist  which are not helping atall. I just feel  I no longer have a life it doesn't help have no appetite and I am having to force myself to eat I just feel I'm at the end of the road nowhere else to go its a living nightmare. ...

Hi Nicky I have to get herceptin and 12 weeks low dosage of paclitaxel, but I awaiting an appointment for a PET scan first, as I have absolutely no appetite and I feel full up very quickly and  I have a lot of pressure in food pipe after eating food takes ages to go down, if I take a tablet it takes an hour to go down .My oncologist says esophageus and stomach can express HER 2 positive as well and that an increase in size an internal mammary node can be from a primary cancer somewhere else so my case is quite complicated.I'm trying to keep positive but these digestive issues are worrying me as secondary breast cancer doesn't cause these.If it is esophageus or stomach on top of already secondary breast cancer I think I'll just give up.Thanks for your interest. ...
