I have a question my dad is going through this situation where he might have a Soffa go cancer but he doesn’t know until the 23rd. It’s been like a long process but he cannot eat or keep anything down do you are you the same way and he’s lost a dramatic amount of weight.

When I was first diagnosed with esophageal cancer, I was constantly coughing and could not swallow whole food. I ended up with a feeding tube and that was how I got nurshment for several months until chemo and radiation shrunk the cancerous tumor and I could start eating whole food again. I have now finished treatment and the tumorand the feeding tube are gone.
