Chapter 2 Living with a Stent - Background, insertion, and limitations off the use of a stent

Introduction

        This handout was produced for those of us who have been diagnosed with EC and either are having a stent inserted or contemplating having one put in. It was written with the hope that my experience living with a stent and how I am coping with it, may be of some help to you. Keep in mind that we all react to cancer and its treatments in our own unique way. This is a personal account and what works for me may not necessarily work for you. Hopefully it may help you avoid some of the pitfalls I went through.
