Hi @tbkomparda
Your husband's case sounds a lot like mine. Just over a year ago I had a colonoscpy by my gastro doc because I was having trouble swallowing normally. He though he might just need to stretch my esophagus a little which happens. But he found a cancerous tumor in my lower esophagus and got me transferred to cancer docs at Moffitt in Tampa near where my wife and I live. They confirmed it was cancer and got me on chemo and radiation treatment. They decided not to do surgery. After 3 chemo treatments the tumor had shrunk 30% which was a very good sign. After 28 days of chemo and radiation, the tumor was gone and I could swallow normally again! However during treatment I had some side affects and ended up with feeding tube for several months to get enough protein and calories into me. I was very tired for quite a while, but am feeling good now and have regained some of the 20 pounds I lost. I would be happy to try and answer any questions you have about my experience with esophageal cancer?
