  • they put pipsid<--spelling to line the stomach, then steroids, benadryl, the carbotaxol

    in what order I'm not sure, except the pepsid is first. it's my 3rd and after the 18th (it's

    the 30th now) my stomach hasn't felt food for several days. I'm eating jello w/banana

    boiled eggs. hopefully it will set well. i'm scheduled for work today (need the insurance)

    hope i can make it today & tomorrow - 16 hrs a week

  • @jill506 I never did look into details of what all they added along with my chemo.

    If food fails, drink some Ensure. I found Ensure to be soothing to the stomach.

    Good luck with work. I understand the importance of keeping up with the insurance.

  • Anyone heard from this gentleman lately? His demonstrations of the G-tube were most informative As an 8-yr. survivor of EC Stage III (T3N1M0) I had a J-tube implanted during my Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy @ University of Pittsburgh Med. Ctr. May 17, 2003~J-tube is inserted in the Jejunum, 2nd section of small intestine & is easier 2 use than a G-tube. Dr. James D. Luketich pioneered the MIE & takes self-referrals for those diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer. ACS/CSN.org has EC survivors

  • @2124909billy Hey I'm still here, and doing well. Thanks for sharing information on the J-tube.

see all

  • @nek1555 it is ok, glad you kept these videos...i found this channel atomicus5000 if you would like to visit an art channel, they are great...especially i loved the jethro tull, ian anderson drawing...thanks :)

  • @alinn71 I removed many of my older videos that were not getting views. The drawing videos are now history. I'm leaving the cancer videos because when someone discovers that they have cancer in their family, they type in keywords that sometimes take them to my videos.

  • @nek1555 Ken you used to have drawing videos, are they still here or you erased them?...I was just checking some art videos suddenly remembered yours...have a good weekend..

  • @nir1971 All is read is "you look younger and younger" LOL :-D Thanks so much!

  • i loved the livelihood tell of this video, always optimistic with a smile.. great to hear things are alright..good to see you back. you look younger and younger.. how do you do it?

  • @whitewadenumber3 We did talk about surgery that would remove most of my esophagus, and move the stomach up closer to my throat area. We discussed all the pros and cons, and decided to treat the cancer only with chemo and radiation.

    P.S. I would never be able to go back and watch all my videos, so I don't expect anyone to do that.
