I just read your response to the other person. I’ve been really trying to research people that I’ve had esophageal surgery. My husband just finished six weeks of radiation to his lower esophagus and six weeks of chemo. He was still eating a little bit, mostly broth and soft foods until week four. Then he had to start using his peg tube. after week five, he could no longer keep things down. Despite all the medication‘s for nausea, he finished his last day of radiation getting IV fluids for rehydration. He’s so miserable and sick now and can’t do any of the tube feeding. I’m trying to keep his medication‘s down with enough water to try to keep him hydrated. But he is too miserable. Any burp or hiccup hurts the heck out of him. He has six weeks of resting and recuperating from the therapy. Then he goes to UCLA for surgery. I’m afraid he’s gonna be too weak for it. They say that in a couple weeks he should turn around a little bit. I think he needs to get pretty strong again before he can endure a surgery like that. I appreciate your encouragement to keep positive and keep going. Not to give up. Everyone is praying for him. He was fairly certain Terry prior to his diagnosis. He cared for his elderly parents here in our home. But I could feel how much smaller his shoulders and body has gotten. He’s lost over 30 pounds now.
