Esophageal cancer: How do you manage gastro and swallowing effects?

I would get it checked by a gi dr

It could be a esophageal infection

I would get it checked out asap. It could be so many things, but whatever it is, you need to get relief and you need to reassure yourself. Waiting never helps. Please make an appointment and stress the importance so you are seen right away.

The excessive burping is gone I still have a cough dry throat my throat is not burning anymore is still hurts a little bit still having trouble swallowing saliva

Please go get that checked out. My husband has EC and has all those symptoms from the Cancer. Tell the doctor your suspicion. Make them listen to you.

So I comment on it this a couple months ago so my dad still hasn’t got his pet scan 🥹 he has been getting the run around. Makes me sad and upset 😭 did anybody else go along time before getting a pet scan and are super skinny can’t eat he has a feeding tube .!

You have to spit out the mucus from your lungs, also try herbal teas, there are so many effective ones like chamomile, green tea.. do research and experiment like I do

Need advice to help spouse with stage 4 esophageal cancer and how to deal with excess saliva that’s keeping him from eating and drinking
