What do they intend to do? Esophageal cancer tends to happen in men more than women, from what I just read in one of my husband's books, and rates are higher for folks who've been cigarette smokers and heavy drinkers. Would you qualify on those counts? You're also at risk if you have a history of reflux/heartburn after eating. I'm so sorry about this news!
well I just turned 17 on may 8th but yea it is in my esophogous...I am so confused though cause I feel like I am a little too young to be getting cancer....and yes I have BAD reflux that is what the doctor said probably caused it along with mild tobacco smokeing....

you know it was just one of those days that I woke up and thought things were going to be cool because I woke up to the sound of sublime playing and I had me a good ole wake and bake and then BAM!!!....my doctor tells me I have cancer......Its one of those things that make you want to cry....
