I had an esophagectomy for a non-malignant tumor 7 weeks ago. I have had difficulty finding information on the net as well as support. I am posting here as many of you have experience with esophagectomy. While I count my blessings every day that it was not cancer (originally thought it was until path came back), I find myself frustrated with difficulties finding things to eat, nasuea, sleeping positions, need for medication to prevent nasuea, choking episodes, and difficulties with consuming liquids.
I am 36 and was in good health prior to this. I did not know prior to my surgery that I would have an esophagectomy, but it was necessary as my tumor had gone through the wall.
If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it.
