Hi PCH 

Im glad you reached out to help your brother. My partner is 62 and has the same oesophageal cancer. 

He had a stent put in three months ago. Is swallow deteriorated to the point he could not get anything down past the tumour. Ie bringing everything up and lost loads of wait

 The stent has been a life line he can now drink and eat soft diet and has stopped loosing weight. I wish they had put it in sooner.

 He started chemo ten weeks  ago which has stopped the cancer growing. 

I hope this helps a little.

Thank you very much for replying, and sharing I appreciate it.  All the very best to you and your partner xx

Hi you are welcome I forgot to say most importantly the stent has allowed him to eat and drink ....liquids are same as before 

Soft diet mince fish and  yogurts ice cream rice lots of gravy and or sauce mash potatoes all go down and coffee his favourite 

Soup also crisps like frazzles that melt easily 

He is diabetic too.....so understand that worry

  his weight has stabilised  and he is still here 

Best to your brother
