in Esophageal Cancer #1
Hi good day! I am Frederick Emil R Tapawan from the Philippines, I am 31 year-old male and was diagnosed with a tonsillar cancer last March 2010. I went through a lot of treaments already. Radiation therapy, chemo, cryosurgery, etc amy, i am happy that your husband evan can eat already. I am so happy to see your posts regarding evan's problem , because it is just the same as mine. I had chemo radiation last aug 2010, but in early 2011 I was not able to take in foods anymore even liquids. I had endoscopy very recently and found out that my esophagel opening is completely blocked by scar or fibrosis. I have been feeding thru a tube for more than 2 years already, and was not able to eat by mouth also. So, i was so happy that you were able to find a treatment for your husband evan. If it is not too much for you, may i ask for the hospital and the doctors who conducted the operation to evan, and also the estimate costs you incurred. I am desperately looking for a treatment facility to be able to eat again normally. I hope you can give me the information i need so i can plan my possible treatment there in the US. i hope you can help me, i know u fully understand what i am goinng through just as you and evan did. I am hoping for you reply , thank you!
