Good Morning
I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer at the junction of my esophagus and stomach back in February of this year. I underwent radiation and chemo in late May and early June (2023). I had been unable to swallow anything since very early January.

They installed a tube through my nose and initially in to my duodenum. Appx 1 month later, during an endoscopy and biopsy done at Mayo in Rochester MN. the location of the tube was moved so that it fed directly into my stomach. It was determined at that time that the tumor was malignant and still growing.

Because of my condition and inability to swallow, I was restricted to tube feeding Until late July (3-1/2 weeks ago) at which time I discovered that apparently the radiation and chemo has to some degree reduced the size of the tumor, and I was able to swallow liquids if sipped slowly. This ability to now swallow, seemed to improve on a almost daily basis. Skipping ahead, over this past week end, I pulled out the over 3 foot long feeding tube that had run through my nose and into my stomach for the past 5+ months. This morning I had my first cup of coffee in 8 months. In addition, I swallowed and enjoyed my first non liquid breakfast in 5+months, consisting of 2 fried eggs, hash browns, and 2 maple flavored breakfast sausages.

I am schedule for another endoscopy and biopsy on August 21st. (next Monday) to determine exactly what is going on with the tumor, and to see if is still malignant. I like all of you, that are stricken with this disease, are praying that the cancer is gone, or at least in remission. I am extremely encouraged by the (at least, temporarily), sudden and apparent improvements in my recovery process.

I would like to add a note to all that are interested. During the time of, and after the radiation and chemo treatments, 1 began inhaling Hydrogen for 2 to 3 hours a day through a cannula, (that is typically used for administering oxygen), on the advice of a scientist/biologist friend of mine. I do not know with any degree of certainty, how large a role the Hydrogen inhalation aided in my recovery process. My scientist friend claimed that inhaling Hydrogen or Hydroxy, would "Greatly" help in reducing the size of almost All Tumors. I do know that I have noticed other physical improvement since I began inhaling Hydroxy. My arthritic pain has all but gone away for at least 15 to 17 hours after inhalation. My vision has actually improved. For me being a 85 year old man, this is amazing. My blood pressure has dropped to NORMAL without taking any/my blood pressure meds.

Bless you all, and hang in there. Mayo (in my opinion) is the very best.
