Suggest treatment for cancer that is spreading to the esophagus
Patient: My brothers lymphoma has traveled into his esophagus he can no longer eat or drink he has gotten nine treatments of chemo and the cancer had spread through his esophagus . He went to a specialist today and said that they need to wait two weeks to see what the chemo will do this is the ninth and I m afraid something is going to happen to him if no one can help him Doctor: It takes time for the chemo to work. But you have not mentioned what lymphoma it is. lymphomas usually respond fast but aggressive types also recur fast. In cases of recurrence, chemo is unlikely to respond quickly. All treatment is by a protocol. let them complete the protocol and then reevaluate.
