Good Morning
I had a complete blockage back in January of 2023. Initially they inserted a feeding tube through my nose for immediate relief. ( I had not eaten or drank anything in more than 5 days ). I began a regimen of Chemo and Radiation, along with Hydrogen inhalation immediately. They ruled out surgery due to my age (85 at the time) and other physical issues. After my 3rd Chemo treatment they were discontinued due to the severe drop in my platelet blood count. I continued 5 day a week radiation for 6 weeks, along with 3-4 hours per day of Hydrogen inhalation. I lost 76 lbs before I was able to consume food and drink by mouth again. They wanted to replace my nasal feeding tube with a "J" tube, but I refused. I was determined that either the tumor would go away, or I would. Well to make a long story short, I personally pulled the 5+ foot feeding tube out of my nose in late August of 2023, after I was able to drink liquids and eat soft foods. By late september I was able to eat almost anything, and my next CT & PET showed the tumor 90% gone. I have continued the 1-1/2 hours per day of Hydrogen inhalation, and my tumor is 100% gone as of December of 2023. I have regular CT scans done (every 4 months) at Mayo Clinic, and so far there has been NO recurrence.
