What foods help with gastroparesis during ENHERTU chemo?
Community Member
9 days agoI'm 76 years old. In 2019, I had a hysterectomy for clear cell endometrial cancer, followed by chemo. Since then, it has metastasized to the paraorta and is now in my lungs. I just received my first chemo for the lungs on July 22nd. I'm getting ENHERTU. Last year, I had to have emergency laparoscopic surgery that left me with gastroparesis. I'm really struggling right now with foods I can eat. Is anyone else receiving the ENHERTU?

9 days agoManaging nutrition with gastroparesis while on chemotherapy can be quite challenging, and many people in the community have found success with smaller, more frequent meals and softer foods that are easier to digest. Consider connecting with your care team about working with a nutritionist who has experience with both gastroparesis and cancer treatment, as they can provide personalized guidance that takes both conditions into account.
