  To everyone who has posted reply’s, I am eternally grateful that you took the time out to give us advice. Sadly my love, Chris passed away December 7th, 2019. He fought so hard, but this insidious disease took him away from me and our family and friends. My heart is broken. There is one person who is helping more than anything and that is my granddaughter who has moved in with me. She is only 13, but has a strengt...

  Hi, I know this is several years later... I hope your Dad is doing well. I was hoping you could answer my question and tell me how they were able to remove the stents from your Dad’s Esophageal ? Thank you, Marcia

  Hi All, My husband was diagnosed with EC stage IV. With Mets to his liver and lymph nodes. He was doing so well with Keytruda and a feeding tube. Then this year our doctor suggested radiation for quality of life and maybe end tube feeding. My 6’2 husband was doing well keeping at 180lbs and getting good calorie intake. Then we did the radiation. It was horrible. After 21 of 28 treatments we had to quit because of 2...

  That’s really great! But Chris is stage IV and no one will operate on him. They say it’s too dangerous.

  Hi Karen, It’s very late right now. For at least me and Chris. ?? But I will surely get ahold of you to talk about other options. We are so frustrated and the doctors seem to think this is all normal. Doesn’t seem normal to us! Thank you for responding. Marcia

  Hi All, My husband is supposed to have 27 radiation treatments to his esophagus.  They have only suggested this recently. He has had 11 treatments so far. But, the radiation has caused him to have such severe nausea that he has had to skip at least 5 treatments. Has anyone had this response? I mean every hour he has been sick.  Also, he is in his 3rd year of this disease and has been on Keytruda for the l...

  Hi, I was told by our radiologist that you should not have cryotherapy while you are having radiation treatments and maybe chemo, because essentially the cryotherapy is adding oxogyn to your system which not only feeds your good blood cells but also the bad cancer cells.  He feels that after treatment it could help a lot.  But he absolutely does not think it should be done while your on radiation.  Yo...

  Hi John, Holy cow! I have a had a pill stuck sideways in my throat and that is awful.  I can't imagine it happening and feeling like you can't breathe. That sounds so scary! You have given me so much good information.  I am really happy to have met you. :) Chris's tumor is in his lower esophagus and growing tube between his stomach and esophagus. I couldn't tell you how large it is., but until about two w...

  Hi John, I guess i didn't read the whole message!  You've had 14 dilations!?! Did they tell you why so many?  Does your esophagus just keep closing back up?   I am going to ask our radiologist and see what he says.  I will pass that along to you. Thank you, Marcia
