Gastric Bypass and Chemotherapy
Hi,
My mum had very successful gastric bypass surgery a few years ago and has now, sadly, developed breast cancer. The cancer has been removed and was quite large and grade three but it has not spread to the lymph nodes. However, becuase it is the most agressive form of cancer the doctors are considering chemotheraphy. Does anyone have any information about chemotherapy and gastric bypass.
My medical understanding is limited at best but I have heard that chemo causes sickness and nausea by irritating the stomach lining - will she be feel these effects more becuase of the gastric bypass.
Any experiences gratefully received.
