Glad to see you after 5 yrs … My father had same surgery last year in October… Its been 6 months now he is back with his daily routine and he is cancer free.. Thanks for sharing your experience… Please keep updating us with your latest experiences as this keeps us motivated to fight with the problem…😊😊
Good to see you!! Thank you for ALL of your videos, Iwatched your series just after my husband was diagnosed with a tumor in his esophagus on Dec 7, 2021. Not much out there to see what really goes on until your videos. My husband had his surgery 4/2/22, ended up one week later with a leak in the anastomosis, along with 2 ltr of fluid from his body and shingles. It was a bit of a mess. He had a stent placed in his esophagus and a wound vac to help it all heal. That went really well although he was kept on the feeding tube much longer than anticipated because of the stent. We are now past all of that. His left vocal cord was damaged and therefore paralyzed, voice therapy has helped some, but will probably have the block inserted to be permanently fixed. A few weeks ago he had his thoat diltaion as he has a ledge where food was hanging up and that too was a great success. Just finishing up his immunotherapy, Opdivo (novimulab), 2 more infusions left. His pathology report came back with clear margins, and his scans have all come back clear. I know I've rambled on here a bit, but every little bit of info out there for others with this affliction will help them get thru, then I'm glad to share. For anyone reading my comment please feel free to contact me if you need to talk, survivor or cargiver. Thank you again for your bravery in sharing your journey. Take care now! 🤗
@@abhishekroy8646 he did need one, he had a bit of a " shelf" that things got stuck on. Doc got it opened to 3/4", all good now though. Today was his last immunotherapy. Yeah!! CT scan in month. Had the thyroplasy to help his vocal cord on June 9th, everything went well.
My father had this surgery back in 2013 and we were able to get 7 more years with him before he passed. It wasn't the cancer that got him, just other medical issues. Now, my best friend has the exact same cancer, is going through the exact same treatments (radiation and chemo). Next step is the surgery. I don't know what the odds are of knowing two people close to me having the same diagnosis and I wanted to find out even more information, if that was possible. I looked on RUclips to see how the surgery was actually performed and I came across your videos. They are so reassuring and I'm going to pass them on to my friend. Thank you for your honesty and openness during this difficult time in your life and I'm so happy you are doing so well today. Good luck going forward and thank you again.
Thanks for the videos ! Best of wishes on continuing survival ! I have been a 5 year survivor of Esophagectomy and Stomach removal! So best wishes and enjoy every day you have !
I’ve been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer at 70 years old. I’m not worried as what will be will be. I’ve yet to have a date for either chemo or surgery. Your posts have helped. I strongly believe that if anyone feels reflux or difficulty swallowing go to your doctor immediately
wow...hello! thank you for all the updates. My husband had his stomach removed in late December after 6 rounds of chemo. Learning the new diet is always a challenge. I am glad you are doing so well. My husband did not have a Esophagectomy , there was no cancer there but the entire stomach was involved..He is cancer free now but as we know this crap loves to come back so one day at a time! ....BTW Your property is beautiful and dogs adorable.God bless you and your family.
@@Esophagectomy thank you. He is at the stage of needing CT scans every 3 months probably for the first year after surgery.. His official diagnosis is Signet Ring Cell Gastric Cancer, stage 3....He has had some dumping syndromes, but has to learn how to eat better , smaller etc. Lost 20 pounds pretty fast after surgery but just so he stays a healthy skinny is all the counts. He feels good and went back to work! thanks for your response! :)
Thank you for the update! Congratulations to you! Happy to hear you’re so healthy! I am 5 months post op! And am cancer free! I am doing Immunotherapy therapy. Looking forward to my 5 year mark! I’m having difficulty swallowing due to scar tissue buildup at the connection site. I have had 3 dilations so far and it has not felt any better, the scar tissue comes back and the opening keeps closing. Other then dealing with this, I’m doing fairly well. I’ve made a few videos of my journey. If any one needs help feel free to reach out! I wish you continued success!
Hi Stephanie, 5 Months in and 3 Dialations already? Sorry to hear that. I was warned about needing dilations but so far have not needed any. Well at least we are still alive and kicking, a lot of people are not so lucky with this sneaky cancer. Wish you the best!
@@Esophagectomy yes we are so lucky and blessed! I haven’t come this far to only come this far! I have faith the docs will be able to get me to swallow better, either more dilations or possibly a stent.
I’ve had many dilations. At first my opening was about the size of a pencil and I was constantly chocking..fast forward to my 5 year after surgery and I get it done about every 10 months or so. Keep the faith, it will get better. I lost about 35lbs after my surgery and will probably never get that back but praise God I’m still here
@@boblengs39 Hey! So glad you’re doing so well! I’ve had 8 so far, I noticed a big improvement after the 7th one, no more regurgitation, I’m going in for my 9th one next week for maintenance as I am starting to feel a little closure happening as I’m starting to choke down my food again. Unfortunately the cancer is back already, i have a spot on my liver now, starting chemotherapy again next week as well. Hopefully I can kick this out of me once and for all! Best wishes to you, and good health!
Thank you so much for your videos. I'm two years out now. Definitely wasn't an easy journey, but I'm glad to be a live. I truly thank God. You helped me in so many ways through this process. Thank you so much. I only have two issues my left vocal cord is paralyzed and I can't gain any weight. Rather than that I'm good. Once again thanks for the videos hope to see more.
Happy to see a new video from you! Your videos really helped me prepare for my gastrectomy in January of this year. Thank you for making them. Your sense of humour and general outlook are also inspiring. I’m presently cancer-free, but I look forward to being 5 years cancer-free. It’s such a hard thing to go through, the operation and recovery. My experience was almost exactly like yours was, and we were the same age going through it. I’m so happy for you to be healthy and fully recovered! Your pond looks great, and again I thank you for helping me to prepare for the hardest thing I’ve ever been through!
Thanks for your story. It helped me understand what was going to happen and then what to expect after especially the leak test. I had to wait for the end of the weekend also. I am 2 years and a few months since my operation. Good luck and thanks for the update.
Was so happy to see this latest episode! Glad to see you are still doing well! My bf of 16 yrs passed away from esophageal cancer in 2019. It was horrid for him. Maybe his was too much into a later stage then yours, but there was never any mention of the surgery you had. He was 72 at the time but in good health other then the cancer that popped up. I wish he would of had the chance to undergo the surgery you had. Never heard of that procedure until I came across your video on youtube.
Good to see you alive 😃😃. I'm sorry...but I thought something terrible had happned to you....as you did not post for the last 5 years. I'm sorry about my thought. God bless you ma man !! Best of luck 👍👍
hi. I can't find your name anywhere, so sorry for that. I think you are really courageous. I would freak out if someone ran off with my stomach ! at the moment I'm having some weird symptoms and dreading I might have cancer.....watching you makes me feel a bit braver. I love your garden surroundings, anyway reply if you want but if you don't want it's ok. I just needed someone to talk to. Amy, in England. 💚
Watched all your videos,and came away with hope that i did not have,so thank you.....I am facing chemo and then same operation,hopefully getting started in next few weeks...all the best,
I have had my Own Journey with EC. After watching it kill my Brother, I was shortly after diagnosed with exactly the same condition, 8 years NED now but the fear of it coming back will never leave.
You give me hope bro. Im 32 male and had burning pain in stomach last week and than my throat felt burnt. Also felt like something ks stuck in chest or throat not sure. It's been a week now and no over the counter medicine foelr acod reflex os working. The only other sighn it points to is esophagus cancer. Im a smoker as well
Check it out. Get an endoscopy,but just know that some peeps have terrible GERD pain w/out cancer, Barrett's without cancer, but symptons for years. Wishing you peace of mind through medical evaluation.
Hope it’s turned out okay; you must be about same schedule as me. 5 weeks Radio & Chemo then IL op September 2023. After initial period (which was truly awful) things here are pretty good. And these vids have helped.
@@68Bards Thanks. Its been 1 year 1 month for me now since surgery . Hasn't been a easy journey. Radiation to the esophagus was a nightmare I don't want to repeat. Chemo was a breeze compared to it. Lost 30 lbs, not from cancer but unable to eat for 2 months while esophagus healed. This was even before the archaic surgery. So far though I have been cancer free. And I don't have to worry about putting on weight as I cannot. I plan on making it with your added 5 years +++.
@@CliveDrone yeah - I’m barely above 10st. Slim to start but with a bit of exercise at the age of now 56 have the body of a welterweight boxer - silver lining 😂. Strange how the same(?) treatment can have different side affects. Radio was my happy day - no discomfort at all apart from a minor bit (less than BEFORE treatment!) for a week after last zapping. I was confident (as only a non medic could be) that tumour must be taking both barrels if ‘heathy me’ was relatively unscathed. Chemo not as bad as feared, though not exactly fun, but the first month of post-op discharge was so awful I would have been ready to swap back for the cancer… Fortunately I didn’t have the choice. Seeing Surgeon Consultant next month - after a 4 month gap. Good to know I’m no longer a priority 😉. Let’s make our Treatment Teams proud…
@@68Bards Thanks for your tale. I just rem finally getting all the last of the tubes and stitches out, it was a happy day. Good luck to you sir. Be well and live long.
Il 30 marzo 2017 mi hanno diagnosticato un carcinoma all'esofago vicino allo stomaco. Ho fatto 4 cicli di chemioterapia e 23 sedute di radioterapia. Questa è stata la parte più penosa perché alla fine non mi reggevo più in piedi e ho perso 20 kg di peso (che non ho più recuperato). Il 14 novembre 2017 sono stato operato a Padova da un'equipe specializzata con un'operazione in laparoscopia; mi hanno fatto solo un taglio nella schiena tra due costole e divaricandole le hanno fratturate. E' stato il solo inconveniente di cui ho sofferto dopo l'operazione. Per il resto è andato tutto bene. Che dire: dopo 14 TAC e altrettante gastroscopie fatte in questi ultimi 6 anni, dall'ospedale si sono congratulati e mi hanno detto di non farmi più vedere. Soffro solo di dumping syndrome e devo mangiare poco e spesso. Facciamoci gli auguri perchè abbiamo avuto fortuna. Ciao. Giampiero. Cagliari - Sardegna
oh wow you are amazing ... yes i found you for the wrong searching reasons for answers :( thanks for sharing your story .. you havent. been shitty ... well done thats all i can say.
Thank you so much for uploading a new video. You have really helped me through my journey. That’s been about three years now. I do have a question and maybe you address it in the video I stopped it to ask you this question a bit early. Did you ever get dumping syndrome? Or do you still? I used to get it quite often until I started learning certain foods and things that would help navigate it a bit better. I’m definitely excited to try the oatmeal as far as keeping things from coming up at night. I’ve definitely woke up choking a few times and it’s awful. Again wonderful to see you doing well and thank you so much for updating us.
Hello Joshua, Yes I get dumping syndrome almost every time I eat. I'm supposed to eat small meals several times a day, but nope not me, I stuff myself and I pay the price afterwards. Especially with anything greasy or sweet.... oh Donuts.....
Don't eat at least a couple hours before you go to bed, our digestive systems slow down when we sleep at night, so if you go to bed with food in your belly it will move very slowly through your digestive system.
Congrats on 5 1/2 years.Tater tots are very greasy but yummy.I am 20 months out and I know when you get reflux it is very bad and takes hours to subside.If I slide off the wedge it happens.
@intrumental sleep on a wedge,pile of pillows, or recliner chair. Meds for reflux and don't eat for at least 2 hrs before bed.But sometimes it still happens
@@intrumental if still looking for suggestions… inclining bed or using a Wedge Pillow can help. The OP recommends instant oats before bed to absorb liquids. Various Protein Pump Inhibitors help (Omaprazole, Lanzaprazole etc) though I’ve been lucky enough to come off them now. PPIs are associated with various potential long term side effects which as I’m only(!) 56 would probably have many years to accumulate/manifest. Your post was a while ago - sorry if I’m now teaching you to suck eggs… I’d start with Wedge Pillow if you haven’t already & AR is still an issue
