I could only sip liquids due to tumor, but after 3rd chemo treatment, the tumor in lower esophagus had shrunk 40% and I could start to swallow again. But I ended up on feeding tube for a while during chemo and radiation as I did not want to eat. Let us know how it goes?

So in April I had the Iver Lewis procedure and at the time a J tube was placed as I was unable to eat due to the surgery.
Just yesterday the J tube was removed and my eating is getting better although I occasionally have some issues swallowing but the food eventually does go down. Just need to eat slower and smaller meals.
Most likely will need to get my esophagus dilated soon.
