Anne,

J will be chiming in soon with info and web sites, so in the meantime
I'll try to suggest things that be in her future.  

If they attack with radiation, she will probably get a feeding tube
installed.  I had radiation to Lung Cancer tumor that was near my
esophagus. As the esophagus gets radiation, it will get radiation burns
that are described as like a sunburn in your throat.  Food will irritate
the throat and swallowing will be painful if not impossible.  I survived
on smoothies and milk shakes.  Soft scrambled eggs and yogurt were about
the only thing I could get down with a minimal pain.  Thus the feeding
tube will make it easier to get nutrition.  The important thing is to
keep her weight up.  Not eating will guarantee weight loss.  Lots of ice
cream was my solution.   Popsicles will help to cool and soothe throat
and hydrate her mouth.

Others here will have more info, but I just wanted to get you started
with some info.   Best wishes for your daughter.  

Bobert

She was diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus
earlier this month.  It is stage 4.

She is 45 y.o. and I wondered if anyone here would
like to comment, or offer advice.
