Esophageal cancer metastasized and spreading quickly

So am I correct that you expect to keep feeding tube permanently? Are you not expecting to be able to swallow normally eventually? I had mine removed once the tumor shrunk and I could swallow normally again. While I was using the tube I only used ISOSOURCE which is liquid with lots of calories etc. I do still have port which I understand many patients keep for years. I do hope and pray your condition improves.

I do expect it to be for life, I won't do surgery since I'm hemiplegic and can't physically have that type of surgery stress my body. I'm not doing hardcore poison like daxiltaxol and risk the side effects ( life threatening infections, permanent nerve numbing, damage and such.) I have no problem with a feeding tube life: it saved my life, may never be 180 pounds ever again but I'm no longer 95 or 105( 125 plus and holding) so I'll take that. I'm 50 and am just going to enjoy quality of life until God takes me home. Thank you for your kindness.
