Got the Confirmation Last Night
I went in for my first colonoscopy endoscopy on Thursday. Friday biopsy shows Esophageal Cancer. Wow. Never smoked, ever. Don’t drink alcohol. Never known to have acid reflux. I only drink sparkling water and kombucha that might have cause this. So sad. I have only seen two survivor stories. Curious. Don’t know what to ask yet.

Hi I also was diagnosed with EC and never smoked or drank. I ended up with chemo and radiation which removed the tumor and the EC. This was several years ago. I'm now 80. I could not swallow for a while and had feeding tube.
I'd be happy to answer any questions?

1 ReactionWell some good news there is a lot more than two survivor stories. And not just here but everywhere. Everyone looks to google and seems to believe what’s there to bad. So much misinformation. Believe in yourself and hopefully you can get a great medical team to help you through this difficult time. I believe you can get through any situation with a positive attitude and great support system. Wishing you the best!! Scott

Thank you very much.
My husband is 62 and was diagnosed with stage four esophageal cancer at the end of May. We’re preparing for cycle 2 of his treatment, holding on to faith and praying that God will bring healing to him and to you as well.
