Duodenal Stent
Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2015 9:44 am
Hi all
I haven't posted for a long time but just looking for anyone with experience of duodenal stents and how you felt in the few days afterwards? Mum has been off Folfirinox since last summer and has been doing well with stable scans ever since but due to problems with eating, feeling sick, bloating etc over the last 6 weeks she has just had a duodenal stent fitted. Her symptoms haven't been relieved in the last couple of days though and she still feels sick, bloated and uncomfortable. Is this normal in the few days after the surgery? Does it take time to settle? I have called the hospital who weren't overly concerned just yet as no temperature or bad pain but we were told on the day that we needed to call if she was still symptomatic so feeling a bit worried.
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks,
Kerri
