Hello! My mom (75) was diagnosed with squamous cell esophageal cancer yesterday. I’m trying to gain as much information as I can so that I’m better able to help her and my father thru this. Difficulty swallowing, nausea & vomiting led to a brief stay in the hospital and an endoscopy, biopsy and here we are… she’s not a candidate for surgery, so it sounds like chemo and radiation are the tentative plan, but meeting with oncologist isn’t happening for another week or so. The urgency seems to be getting her on a feeding tube as soon as possible.
Any advice or information would be so appreciated. Thank you ♥️
