How long do you have to keep that big tube? I assume that’s your feeding tube?

6 to 8 more weeks. Yes, it’s a gastric feeding tube. I’m eating a bit now. The tubal feeding is just to speed up the weight gain.

I’m not saying much because I lack the words when I see this thread

Every night I kinda remind God of you, sure it’s not necessary, but the more the merrier

I have no doubt you’ll defeat that disease like it was Barcelona playing the Cosmos

But no matter what, you already won this, that tummy wart never came even close to beating your spirit

Yeah, I mentioned something about Immunotherapy on another thread.

D_M, you might try googling immunotherapy trials.

I’m in an immunotherapy trial for MS. So far, so good.

Thanks bro. Yeah, immunotherapy was all the rage a few years ago as a potential replacement for chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The problem is… as with all new cancer research… is that only certain cancers respond to it. Unfortunately, there haven’t been enough trials with esophageal cancer to know the benefits if any. As we’ve discussed many times here over the years, big pharma isn’t going to invest research dollars on a cure for a rare disease because there’s no financial incentive. All the money goes to breast, brain, colon, lung, etc cancer research. My beast bet at this point remains an integrated approach using conventional and alternative treatments.

Please though, continue to let me know if you come across things like this that may help. The volume of data is such that I can’t possibly read everything.

Thanks LR. I did catch your post awhile back and it did in fact prompt me to investigate immunotherapy.
