Thank you for this. I am so glad for you as well. He started chemo yesterday and the feeding tube and port kicked his ass. He seems weak. What can I do as a caretaker to help him stay motivated? And what was your diet like? He is maintaining 2200 a day, but it has been a challenge now that he can’t take in much, so he is feeding about 8 hours a day, which is not at night as he has trouble sleeping upright and tethered to a line, so we keep him on during the day which limits his mobility. Did you exercise at all during treatments?

I am 77, and got the diagnosis this morning. My problem was also about swallowing food. How long were you on Chemo/Radiation? how long have you been cancer free? Also how old were you at the onset? Thank you for taking the time to answer.

What stage and type of cancer did you have? My husband’s EG cancer is stage 4 squamous cell. We are looking for more success stories!!! Thanks for sharing yours.
