Please i need advice i am in hospital since boxing day omentum mets caused 2blockages in large bowel so now have a stoma and bag works good however surgeon said tubes on kidneys were squashed so they put in double j bilateral stents all good except I have been bringing up dark brown vomit and gastro docs put in a stent at bottom of esopegus which slipped down and yesterday the stapled it in place all good
The mystery is why the dark brown vomit i get a sort of cramp in midle area of ribs where theymeet a strange taste in my mouthand then sick up about 5 oz each time am still om liquid dietdo any of GRACE Doctors have any idea what may cause this...i do have mets on omentum and some on small bowel the large bowel was left in as omentum had wrapped itself around and caused 2 blockages
If i can stop this brown vomit i thinkk i will be almost good and be able to eat to get strenghth back and hopefully get to Peter Mac in Melbourne for co1686 trial am tested T 790M
Appreciate any feedback

Lesley,
Lesley,
I'm terribly sorry to hear about these complications you've been having. However, your question is one that we cannot provide any insight for. First, your issues are really far more specific to gastrointestinal issues than anything clearly directly related to cancer management, so a gastroenterology specialist or surgeon is really the most relevant person -- we don't fit that bill. Second, your issues are so specific that your issue doesn't lend itself to an online solution from people who know none of the details of your situation.
I wish we could be more helpful, but these issues are simply well beyond the hope of what we can do through an online forum.
I sincerely hope things get better for you.
-Dr. West

Hi Lesley,
Hi Lesley,
I'm so sorry for your recent problems they sound awful but almost managed. Do you have a gastroenterology? If it's related and it sounds like it could be from your blockage problems it would help to get input from him or her. A look at the area where the pain is coming from is also feasible to see if there's new progression or something else causing the issues such as leakage. Have your doc in the hospital had suggestions?

Have you asked the doctors in
Have you asked the doctors in the hospital to explain to you what is going on? My first thought when I saw your title was to have you call you doctor ASAP but you're in the hospital. I hope you get the answers you need and that you're home soon. Take care, Judy
