Hello, my brother was diagnosed recently wur Esophageal Cancer ( Squamous cell). My brother is 79 y/o, life time tobacco user and presented with difficulty swallowing solids and lately limited liquids.
He was provided with a feeding tube.
Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks for taking time to read my letter and I'm glad to have access to this message board.

How is your brother doing? What treatments is he having?
