Anyone with RNY who has had cancer treatment, especially cervical or gastric cancer?

Hi everyone,

I’m the member of a cancer forum having completed treatment for Stage 3 cervical cancer six months ago. I’ve put out feelers to try and find anyone else who had had bypass surgery (RNY) previously, and have drawn a blank. The RNY meant challenges for me, especially as the cancer had spread to my para-aortic lymph nodes, so my stomach and whole gut were irradiated for 6 weeks. The no-ghrelin effect also returns for gastric cancer patients as the radiotherapy knocks out those hunger hormones. Just wondering if there is anyone else on the forum who has had cancer treatment after their RNY?

I haven't had cancer or WSL, but congrats on completing your treatment!

Thank you, lizonaplane. I was required to eat a low fibre, high carb diet whilst on radiotherapy because of the affect on my stomach, but such a diet is counter indicative with the bypass and nausea and diarrhoea were my daily companions. But I’m through it, and hopefully for good. 👍🏼

I know this post is pretty old but I was diagnosed with abdominal lymphoma about 3.5 years after I had my gastric bypass surgery. I had to go through 6 months of chemotherapy

A year and a half ago, my mother had an operation and had her cervix and uterus cut out. She had stage 3 cervical cancer.

A couple of weeks ago, she had back pain and went to the doctor again. She was prescribed anti-cancer drugs, which I keep ordering at https://www.pillpal.to/anticancer-1828 because they are hard to find in our town. I am worried about my mom because it is impossible to completely cure the pathology. The existing therapy methods only aim to reduce tumor growth rate. I hope my mom can beat cancer, and I am ready to support her every minute.
