Hi, I had lots of side affects from 28 days of chemo and raidation for my esophageal cancer. At first I could only sip water or milkshake, and I was coughing up lots of flem. I was tired all the time, and then there was the diaherria. Next came lack of appetite and the feeding tube after I lost 20 pounds. I learned to take 6 ISOSOURCE cartons per day via feeding tube to maintain weight. I could not have done it without the help of my wife Charlotte. It was wonderful when the treatments were over and I gradually started feeling stronger and more normal. Later scans showed the cancerous tumor was gone and lymph nodes were back to normal.

Thank you Don for responding. Did you have an esophagectomy?
