I have a cousin who is 35 years old and she just went through this yeast infection in her esophagus and was hospitalized for 10 days. They finally open her stomach to get to the infection at the esophagus and treated her also with antibiotics. She thought she had EC cancer at first with trouble swallowing and breathing but she lucked up with only a bad infection and she lost over twenty pounds during the whole thing. This was the first time I ever heard of this and now you are the second case. Please get rid of this ASAP and take care.  Phil A.
