My husband was diagnosed with esophageal cancer and is current in Mayo ICU due to some cancer bleeding. The cancer is contained, but he does have other issues that does not make him a candidate for surgery. Right now being evaluated by radiation oncology to see if we can have him go thru a 2 week intensive radiation, probably one week in hospital, and if he does well, one week outpatient. Please get as much info esp from the specialists.. I’ve come across more the internists or ICU doctors that do not portray as positive a picture

Hope the bleeding can be stopped and you can get treatment for the cancer. Let us know how he is doing in ICU?
