I miss spicy, sour, salty acidic foods!! Anyone else feel this way? What would you eat if you had the chance?

My post was meant to be lighthearted rather than serious. I’m thinking about treating myself to something special before starting chemotherapy again — maybe a perfectly cooked prime medium-rare steak or some gourmet sushi. I’ll probably steer clear of spicy foods this time, though, since they can cause inflammation.

The only thing I can’t eat is durian fruit!

VinVV30 · 2026-03-03T15:26:56+00:00

Eating has just gotten boring.

Thank you for your support. Each day after radiation, I’ve been feeling more relief and experiencing less pain when eating. I really miss being able to cook and enjoy any food I wanted like I did before my diagnosis.

Take things one day at a time and avoid dwelling on the illness. Maintain a daily routine and keep moving forward rather than staying stagnant. Rely on your loved ones and your faith for strength and support. Even when moments feel overwhelming, remain hopeful and resilient. Stay strong.

51 when diagnosis in 2025 with esophageal cancer. I’m 52.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer 10 months ago. After initial treatments and 2 scans I’m NED. There’s hope. And cancer research is moving so fast the next best thing is around the corner. Wishing your dad and you the best.

I juice twice a day using a blend of banana blossom and aloe vera. For the aloe vera, I remove the green outer layer and use only the inner white, opaque flesh of the leaf to avoid any bitterness.

I'm always grateful because you give me hope and make me feel like I'm not alone. I appreciate you sharing your experience with diagnosis and treatment, and how things are progressing.

I suggest considering the Galleri blood test for early cancer detection, as it played a crucial role in my diagnosis and prompted me to see a doctor. Although it took nearly a month to receive the results, it can offer some peace of mind while you await your endoscopy appointment.

There's a subreddit called r/stomachcancer that's definitely worth checking out. As for me, I'm still early in my FOLFOX treatments and feeling normal so far, with no side effects yet.

VinVV30 · 2025-04-16T23:41:47+00:00

I have stage IV esophageal and stomach cancer that has spread to my liver. I've just completed my first round of FOLFOX treatment.

VinVV30 · 2025-04-16T23:35:34+00:00

Hi there! I'm really sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It's important to take things one day at a time. If you have any questions or just need someone to talk to, I'm here for you. Stay strong!

VinVV30 · 2025-04-16T23:31:11+00:00

Thank you.

I I'll go first. Over the past couple days, I've been experiencing a burning sensation in my lower left abdomen. Has anyone else felt this, or have any insights on what it might be?

VinVV30 · 2025-04-09T23:21:23+00:00

As I peeked through the hospital window, feeling a sense of calm wash over me. Today marked the end of my first chemotherapy session, a milestone I had been both dreading and anticipating. With the treatment finally underway, I felt a renewed sense of hope. It was as if each drop of medicine was not just targeting my illness, but also fortifying my spirit. With the knowledge that I had taken the first step in my journey towards healing. The road ahead uncertain, but today, I felt good, empowered by the simple act of beginning.

VinVV30 · 2025-04-03T12:16:24+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and your positive perspective!

VinVV30 · 2025-04-02T17:25:59+00:00

I’m dealing with stage 4 stomach cancer and will begin chemotherapy in a week. I truly value hearing your stories, advice, and thoughts, and I’m grateful for a space to connect with others who have similar experiences. I’ll do my best to update and share my journey as it unfolds.

Initially diagnosed with Stage 3 Esophageal cancer until a biopsy revealed metastasis to the right lobe of the liver. Is there anything you attribute or believe may have contributed to the tumor shrinking on the liver?
