I am not sure what stage his cancer was. He had 5 weeks of chemo and radiation. They removed about 6" of his esophagus and some of his stomach. The surgeon felt he removed all the cancerous mass, so far, the Pet scan has shown no cancer. After his surgery, he went for immunotherapy.
He had a long recovery, maybe if younger, he would have gotten better faster. He was always healthy, he never needed to take any medicine, now he takes Pentazole to help with acid reflux. It has been a long road, but he is still here and doing well.
Best of luck to you both. It will not be easy but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Ps. My husband could not drink water but could eat some pureed food and Chocolate Mighty shake from Hormel.
