Newly Diagnosed with Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Stage 2-3

Posted by rdt @rdt, Nov 5 1:11pm

I'm reaching out to see if anyone has had success with alternative cancer treatments for this type of cancer? I've been in shock the last two weeks after hearing this diagnosis. I've been a pretty healthy person all my life so far. I'm 59 years old and had noticed a little trouble with swallowing over the last few months, but it was random until just this last month. I had seen my primary care doctor back in July to check on this. I started the process of going for testing in August, and just received the official diagnosis on October 15th. I'm very sensitive to western medicine and am hoping for an alternative solution for treatment. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciate. Thanks Todd

I have the same cancer, they found it July 1 2025, stage Ii/III, I investigated a treatment by a Dr who uses Ivermectin and Fenbendazole, ultimately decided it wasnt worth the risk and have taken the recommended FLOT treatment with good results so far. I asked every dr about alternative treatments and they all said the ivermectin was investigated years ago and deemed to be no better than current best "traditional" treatments.

@noslrac Hi thank you for your feedback and input. My Oncologist is recommending the FLOT treatment as well. How are you doing with this treatment? Can I ask what your side effects have been? I'm super sensitive to internal medicine, just to give you an idea I have a longer listed of medications I am allergic to then the list of medications I can handle. So, I'm really concerned about the chemo treatments. Thanks for your reply.
