I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with laser treatment. My father is supposed to have some sort of laser treatment on his esophageal tumor. I am unsure of any more information on the type of laser, as the oncologist will call with more detail soon. He was hoping for my dad to have surgery, but 2 surgeons agree that dad has lost too much weight. My dad has lost about twenty pounds, but he was always a very thin man. Any feedback appreciated...Thanks.
I am sorry to hear about your dad. I have only read about laser treatment with EC and am very interested in it. My dad has two tumors in his esophagus and can not swallow. Surgery is out of the question because he is stage IV. I have read that laser surgery is very effective in killing cancer cells and shrinking tumors. The patient quickly gets results with a minimum of complications and side effects. Please post what you find out. Sorry I had no advice to help you.
