My husband had a total gastrectomy 4/08.He was doing fine until about 6 weeks ago when he developed difficulty eating again and a pneumonia. He has an area in the small intestine below the anastmosis which is swollen and causing an obstruction. They are calling it radiation enteritis, anyone with experience in this?
