DH is being tested for cancer. I wasn't going to tell anyone until we get the results, but, I need to let it out. I'm so scared!
He's been having trouble eating for about 2 months. He chokes on food.
Saturday, he choked, but, this time, couldn't get it down. We spent Sunday night in the ER, after him feeling like something was stuck in his throat still and had trouble breathing, they didn't do a thing. They said that since he was breathing, they couldn't help, but, if he started choking and turned purple bring him back
Took him to ear nose and throat Monday. She could only put the scope as far as his windpipe. Nothing that far, but, tissue is changing, whatever that means. Went for Barium swallow, which showed blockage, and full chest xray yesterday {because of the chest pain he has had for so long}, will get results at appoinment next Monday. Is being scheduled for a esophagoscopy {sp} for next week. In the mean time, he is unable to eat anything other than tomato soup and pudding without choking. He still has lots of trouble with that and water, but, can get it down after swallowing a few times.
Pray for him, please.
I'm lost right now. I've feared this for a little while and so has he. He knows that something is wrong. He's tired all the time and can't go as long as he normally does with work. The constant clearing of his throat has gotten so much worse too. Me and ds are so guilt ridden when we eat, knowing how hungry he is. He's lost 7 lbs since Saturday. His metabolism is high anyway and he normally eats 4+ times a day.
