Esophageal Cancer

[@chrismardis9172]

Thank you. I'm an esophgel cancer survivor that was given 6 months to live. That was February 23 2016. The same surgery and challenges you had, I had and still have. "By His Stripes, I Am Healed." Thank you for sharing your story.

Thank uou for this comment my dad is having the surgery tomorrow and I am so scared my family are very afraid asking to God for a miracle.

So this is 9 year old information. There has been plenty done since then. He ought to do an update, speaking from a cancer survivor.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Hello..my husband was diagnosed with this cancer just a week ago..symptoms are difficulty in eating..about to do chemo rad in two weeks... did u undergo surgery? Can you tell me how was your battle in dealing with this kind of cancer...are you okay now? Thankyou..

[@Alpha_7227]

@@carmieingalla6978 Ongoing, but I am positive, luckily I have a great principal at the primary/elementary school I work at. I'm working 2 days a week in the library. 13 months on from surgery, I am eating normal meals but smaller size portions. My endurance and stamina levels are still low - i need a nanna nap in the afternoon. I have stage 4 now. its in my lymph noded but I refuse to let this beast beat me. I was having immunotherapy and it was working well until the cancer mutated and evaded the immunotherapy. Not to worry, they have me on a new treatment and I'm hopeful we can beat this thing atleast subdue or keep it under control.

I have Stage 4 Esophageal/Gastric Cancer. It is one of the painful cancers you can have. Not once was pain management addressed.

They must have caught it early for you to have survived..

[@Millektm]

Yep, it was caught early so very grateful to all involved who helped me get through the last 2 years, surgeon's, nurses , friends and family etc,life is great .

[@irmaaviles2076]

What stage was your cancer

[@Millektm]

@irmaaviles2076 Stage 2- 3 , lucky ? enough to have fairly urgent surgery , part of esophagus , stomach and some lymphnodes gone but living reasonably normally apart from some digestion issues as no stomach left to speak of. Supposedly cancer free so blessed with life really.

[@shicoff1398]

Excellent info here.

[@pwk22]

I have had neither esophageal cancer nor Barrett's. My ENT found that stomach acid was burning my vocal cords, which can advance to Barrett's if left untreated. The reason I scheduled an exam with my ENT is that, while singing along with the radio in the car, I noticed I could not hit my top-most octave. So if you present in this way, have it checked.
