How I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer | esophagus cancer symptoms

I was recently diagnosed with metastatic esophageal cancer, and this is the story of how I eventually got diagnosed. I made this video share my story and with that hopefully help others get to a diagnosis sooner if they are experiencing similar symptoms.

-- I am not a medical professional, so please always go to your doctor if you have any concerns around symptoms you are experiencing. This is just my personal story about what went wrong with my diagnosis, and why it took so long for me to get diagnosed. I am sharing my story in the hopes of helping others find answers sooner, and to raise awareness around the difficulties of navigating the medical system when you are young and otherwise healthy, and a cancer diagnosis is so unlikely that it doesn't come up as something to be screened for. -

    I found this video last week because I was experiencing weird throat pain and my doctor dismissed it as allergies. I'm replying today because after viewing this video, I went back to a different ENT and they did an endoscopy. He found a small mass next to my larynx. It was caught early enough and I should (probably) be okay. I wanted to get in contact with this woman and thank her personally, only to find out she passed away. I'm deeply saddened by this. She may have saved my life and I only wish I could tell her...

Surgery went well and my larynx was kept in tact. It'll have to be monitored closely for a while but for now I look to be in the clear.

    @@ellaelliott4415 My pain was located to the left and above my adam's apple. It didn't hurt all the time but hurt sometimes when I swallowed, and all the time when my throat would "flex" like burping or hiccupping. It made my voice a little raspy and felt like some food was stuck in it. Turns out the "food" was a small lump that was slowly getting bigger, and the raspy voice was because it was on my larynx. My first ENT dismissed it as allergies and after viewing this video I saw a second just to be safe. I figured the first was right but I'd sleep better after a second opinion. Good thing I did! After he removed the endoscope he kinda looked at me sheepishly and said "well, we definitely got some data..." then showed me the video. Part of me wants to be really mad at the first guy, but I'm honestly too relieved to carry around that kinda hate.

    My daughter who is 30 years old has been having the esophical cancer symptoms. And she went to the doctor a year-and-a-half ago with symptoms and told them and they gave her antacids. They didn't do any testing. Now the symptoms are worse, she's having her food feel stuck right about in between her breasts just like this woman that did the video. When she drinks liquids sometimes she gets very painful hiccups. I am so sad to think that my daughter may have this cancer. She is going to be getting some tests done in the next week or two. I suppose I better prepare myself for the reality that this could very well take her life. I saw online that once you're diagnosed you have approximately 3 to 12 months to live. And that there are very few survivors. This makes me want to puke. It's my only daughter.. I have 4 unruly sons and one beautiful wonderful daughter. Tears tears cry cry sad sad💦💦💦..."Update" 11-2-2019 This is an update for all you tenderheart Bears out there. Who actually got your feelings hurt over reading my message. My daughter had her esophageal cancer test and it was "negative."🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉 She is on a drug that she has been taking for approximately four and a half years that the doctor said is probably the reason that she's having these symptoms. In other words there are certain prescription drugs that can cause a side effect like that. I'm happy to say she does not have cancer!!! hip hip hooray :-)🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊

    This woman died. But in the depths of her sorrow, she battled, and she helped many people. This is an amazing and heartbreaking yet empowering and uplifting story. It's so easy to be overwhelmingly discouraged after being diagnosed with a terminal illness. But no matter what, you have to fight. Fight with your heart and soul. Be courageous, be proactive, be a warrior. Yes, you may not survive. But taking productive action, like doing extensive research and sharing your knowledge and experience with others, is rewarding on so many levels. It gives you a sense of purpose, regardless of how dire the prognosis. I might not survive, but I'm gonna make sure I help as many people as I can through my experience. I will fight. And I will die with grace and dignity and love and hopefully impact the lives of others and maybe help save a few.💪💪🤟🤘 stay strong my fellow warriors.

However, they did an early PET scan and the cancer shrinked as well as lymph nodes, the mass in the stomach is not visible. Now since January 4th he is in a hospital and they found Amyloidosis on his heart through biopsy. Waiting to see what type it is. So stressful.

I had gone to see my doctor several times over a period of 6-9 months complaining about a sore throat, headache and issues swallowing, he kept putting me on high doses of antibiotics and pain meds.. he thought I had a nasal infection... things didn’t go so well.. so I totally get what’s going on for you.. one more thing was at age 50 I went to see the doc because I just felt lousy, no energy, up at night thirsty and urinating often, doc felt I was depressed so he wanted to prescribe antidepressants, I stood up and looked him square on and said draw my blood and do a complete CBC now! He called me into his office the very next day and told me I was type one diabetic that my blood sugar was 670!!! I’m surprised that he didn’t send me to the hospital immediately.. idiot!! I have always been a healthy eater, exercised often I weighed 130 most of my life... .. I’m now 62 I live off grid alone, I split several cords of firewood for heat and cooking on wood stove.. it’s hard work but it’s truly beautiful. Bless you with your journey..

    Esophageal cancer is caused in most cases by acid reflux. It sounds like your dad likely had Barrett’s esophagus which progressed to cancer.

In his older patients, Mom was 70, he always went looking for the source, and found the tumor with endoscopy. It was caught early and we were quite hopeful. It did end up spreading, but we got 4-1/2 years, which is more than most get. Thank you for sharing your story.

I’ve had it for approx 20 years. Doctors have never really been able to pinpoint what exactly is wrong with my throat or why I can’t swallow. It ranges from acid reflux to allergies to certain proteins in food. I really wanted to thank this lady for dedicating some of her time to helping others, but sadly as I read the comments I was struck with sorrow.

    This just pisses me off! Doctors /medical field need to start taking things serious! I think we can all tell by your composure, your smarts, etc, you know what you were taking about. Positive vibes to you.

    I complained to my doctor about my waist expanding. She told me to watch my diet and get an exercise ball. I switched doctors and the new one ordered an ultrasound. They found an 11 cm cyst on my ovary. Thank goodness it was benign, but what if it hadn't been? People, listen to your body. If your doctor won't take you seriously, go to another one. Don't let intimidation or a misguided sense of loyalty get in the way of your health.

    Alisha K A barium swallow can test for cancer. Their THEORY was that she had a cut not that they couldn’t find cancer with a barium swallow. It cannot determine staging of cancer but can detect abnormalities or obstructions such as a tumor.

    I would also like to add that it sounded like those doctors were really caring. It’s not that they were “playing with her life” because they didn’t find it right away in a young woman with no risk factors. I am a nurse and work frequently with cancer patients like her. Given her age, symptoms, and lack of risk factors I would have suspected the same thing they did. Their diagnostic process makes sense and these thing are not clear cut. Stop saying stuff like that when they don’t get to a diagnosis instantly! THAT IS NOT HOW MEDICINE WORKS AT ALL. I have worked with some horrendous doctors and that is not “uncaring” it’s literally just the process. Medicine is complicated.

    I am in school becoming a medical provider, and the first thing they teach you is, "Think horses, not zebras." The second thing they teach you is, "If you are still thinking zebras, how close are you to the zoo?" All of that means, think of the more common things first. It's almost always something common just presenting a little differently, not some crazy diagnosis. That second part means, if you're still thinking about that crazy diagnosis, how likely is it for THAT patient. Do they have risk factors? You cannot always assume the worst for patients, and run a million tests on every single patient that presents with something strange. Tests are expensive, have side effects, and are not always safe. "The number one contraindication to any test is not needing it in the first place." -another thing preached in school. Things happen, zebras DO exist, and unfortunately they can be missed or diagnosed too late. That's awful, and as a provider there is no worse feeling in the world than missing the diagnosis and having that affect your patient. But medicine is not perfect. We do our best, try to make educated decisions based off of our education and clinical experience, and that's the best we can do. I'm so sorry if that wasn't enough. But I promise, it's not a lack of care.

    I appreciate your story! I know exactly what it was like being told you have anxiety only to find out differently and dramatically life changing. It’s both a relief and like hitting a brick wall all at once. Your story will help others and I’m so glad to have had the opportunity to hear it. There needs to be better prescreening, better gene testing, better monitoring, and most importantly better preventive care. Insurance companies don’t like to pay for preventive, they’d rather you be near death and have to pay very little. Hospitals won’t treat anything but emergencies. When you don’t have insurance you get nothing done and die from the lack of proper care and treatment. Doctors don’t like ordering tests because they assuming nothing is wrong, and eventually things never get better and require more testing. By that point it’s usually too late. Sometimes the body just doesn’t reveal itself, and could be the last minute before it finally comes to light. When you are suffering from secondary, a third, a fourth, and many other conditions, some may overlap and more hide the others. We need better preventive care that monitors our daily health. Technology, devices for home use used in screening etc. by now we sure have enough data to support better screening and detection methods.,

    Prayers for you, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2012. I was 26 I had a 11 pound cancerous Germ Cell tumor. The first doctor diagnosed me with Constipation. When me and my mom were leaving the nurse told us that we should go to the ER for a second opinion. She new something wasn’t right because my BP was extremely high. I’m thankful we listened to the nurse because when we arrived at the ER my BP was 210/168. They took me straight back and ran all kinds of tests. The doctor told me I hade a huge tumor, I was in kidney failure and I need to be transplanted to the trauma center. When I got there I hade emergency to remove the tumor. The doctors told my parents I got to the ER just in time or I would not be here today. I’m in remission but I have long term side effects from the chemo. Most of my time is spent at the doctors. Doctors need to take us more seriously no matter how old we are. I’ve had to many doctors tell me theirs nothing wrong with me because I’m to young or It’s all in my head. If doctors would start talking people more seriously and do all the necessary tests to rule out any medical conditions. Then maybe cancer would be caught early.
