My stepdad was just diagnosed with this 3-4 weeks ago (lost track of time, been a long road already)... Adenocarcenoma...
We've found it is now spread to his stomach. He is getting his feeding bag prior to starting chemo/radiation, but the prognosis is not good.
My best friend lost her dad to this....
I've been told what is so horrible about esophugal cancer, is that by the time you go to the doctor to see whats wrong, it's already pretty far progressed. Did not know about the reflux/Gerd thing being related (my daughter has had that since age 2).. but I was told esophugal cancer is more common in men and also anyone with a history of smoking or high alcohol intake..
