Nausea, Vomiting. Had Cancer Surgery, Created Hernia Below Right Breast. Is This As Result Of Surgery?
I had major cancer surgery in the left chest wall. Due to other complications, my surgeon had to create a hernia below my right breast. That was in November 2012. Recently, I am experiencing nausea and occasional vomiting about 2 hours after I eat my first meal of the day. Is this a result of the surgery? Should I make an appointment with the surgeon?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The occasional vomiting and nausea could be due to the hernia as you have pointed out. As I do not know the exact details of the surgical procedure, your doctor would be the best person to discuss this with you. A chest X ray may be required that needs to be compared with earlier chest X rays.
As for your first meal, I suggest you take that in small amounts divided in 2 -3 smaller meals, until you meet up with your doctor.
Hope this helps.

Dear Sir/ Ma'am,
Sorry to hear about your problem. This hernia could be either a complication of the surgery or a fresh problem. This can only be found out by doing some investigations like a CT scan. You should schedule an appointment with the surgeon and have this condition evaluated.
Hoping for the best.

Hi, it appears that the surgery may not have any relation with the surgery, un less it the surgery is concerned with the oesophagus.
It could be peptic ulcer, due to hyperacidity, or hepatitis, i advise you to consult a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Thank you.
