I had Stage 4 esophageal cancer & lost 1/3 of it to the cancer so my stomach had to be detached and moved higher up in my chest to be sewn in to the remains of the esophagus. Was on a feeding tube for 7 mo. & only food I could eat was yogurt & apple sauce, I've since been able to eat pasta if it has a creamy sauce on it to make it easier to swallow. Also lots of chicken noodle soup. Ice cream, popsicles, puddings, & protein shakes.
