I never know telling people who have recently been diagnosed that I had the major operation 12 years ago. It was a difficult recovery but now the only sign that I had it is a huge scar from shoulder around my back onto my abdomen. Otherwise in good health.

I have been choking on food and liquids for over 1 year. I was told I have a hernia. Finally someone listened to me and sent me for a swallow test 3/28/22. The Dr. Started the test only to stop when I choked badly on the white barium I tried to swallow. I was then sent to Dr. Gambari for a scope down my throat. He has referred me to Shands Hospital in Gainesville FL, about 3 hrs away. I have two blockages and my esophagus is almost totally closed. I can't seem to get any answers from the Drs I'm petrified. I am waiting for the referral to go through.

I was recently given an EMR and the stage was T1b but there was some muscle in the sample so I was given a PET scan and the option of an Esophagectomy to be sure, they had it all. It's an awfully big roll of the dice and there's nothing out there I can find to say what is the trend with folks like me who refuse the default option. If they did get all of the cancer then I'll have had this procedure for nothing and will have to live with it live with it. How many follow up scans are needed to confirm if there was still some residual nasties? They really don't tell you more than they can get away with I feel. We deserve better information.

First of all I want to announce to you all that I'm cancer free🥰🥰. I was completely healed from Esophageal cancer within 8 weeks by using the herbal medication that I got from Dr unugboje. I met Dr unugboje herbal Chanel here on KZbin and that was the best thing that ever happened to me. Dr unugboje was able to cure my cancer completely. You should do yourself a good by contacting Dr unugboje herbal Chanel here on KZbin. He has the best cure. I'm talking from personal experience

What happens if you've had surgery and need to vomit? I'm concerned about esophagus issues after 43 years of mostly unmanaged GERD and such.
@jonathansalomd3 жыл бұрын
Vomiting after esophagectomy is very unusual, as the stomach is much reduced in size and has been converted from a large reservoir into a tube which replaces the esophagus

Jejunum can be used as an alternate conduit. This can either be done via a substernal approach (with or without ‘supercharge’ by a plastic surgeon) or via the chest (which is less common). Ask your surgeon for a referral to a high-volume hospital for a second opinion

I will have my oesophagectomy in a couple of days after having about 4 weeks worth of radio/chemotherapy. I am wondering but what are the chances of the cancer returning even if the surgeon manages to cut out all the cancerous cells and surrounding lymph nodes. Thanks.

@@indertomar8957 Hi, I am able to eat normally, although smaller entre size meals. Just the other night I ate too much snitzel then ice cream and I got the sensation of food being caught in my throat again. I am working 2 to 3 days a week 5 hours a day as fatigue is still a factor. I am on immunotherapy treatment once a fortnight which has its side effects like fatigue etc which I am getting on top of. All in all, I am incredibly lucky.

Can you get an EUS without cancer? Mom has a lump found during endoscopy and they want to do one and they say sometimes they are benign.
@jonathansalo45663 ай бұрын
Yes. EUS is very useful to diagnose masses in the wall of the esophagus, for example leiomyoma (benign muscle tumor) or GI Stomal Tumor

Dear Doctor Jonathan, this is Chloe and I found your video really helpful. My grandpa is 70 years old and diagnosed with Oesophageal Cancer Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma, and the doctor said the lymp nodes did not spread to any organs however multiple metastatic lymph nodes are found in mediastinum, left neck, bilateral supraclavcular fossae and abdomen and pelvis. Is that also means M1? And May I ask if that’s possible to do surgery once the lower area lymph nodes are removed from chemotherapy, thank u so much for your time

In most cases the opening in the esophagus will begin to open up even several weeks after the radiation is completed. My hope is that she has a feeding tube to help her with her nutrition in the meantime.
