Question by Ashley Webster: Possible Esphogeal cancer? sorry this is really long?
I don’t know if anyone would be able to help me with this, but figured its worth a shot. About 5 years ago my mom went septic and ended up on life support for 2 weeks and lost both of her legs, since then she has been very weak and stays in bed except for her monthly doc visits. She also used to be an acholic and still smokes about a pack and a half a day, just in case that helps. About 4 months ago she developed pain in her throat and it has continued just getting worse since. She downs bottles and anti-acids and for the past month or so been unable to eat hard foods she pretty much can only swallow liquds and soggy pasta, even that sometimes seems to get stuck. She tells me she just swallowd something large awhile ago and scrapeed it, i think she doesn’t want to scare me yet I am very aware of what is going on. She did tell my father that she feels like there is a lump inside her thorat and that it has gotten bigger, but she refuses to go see a doctor or tell the doc’s about the problem and lies about it anytime it is brought up. For the past few weeks she has developed drenching sweats, nothing I’ve ever seen before, with no fever, she snores much more loudly then she used to, she also seems much weaker and sleeping more, she occasionaly coughs and probably every other day gets really bad hiccups and has been very depressed. She is worried about cancer and I think thats what keeps her from seeing a doctor about it. Right now there is no way of convincing her to get it checked and for me not knowing what is going on is killing me. I have looked up the symptoms and everything seems to say cancer but I know these websites always give you the worst case scenario. I know it sounds horrible its just miserable watching her suffer and she is in so much pain that I almost feel she’s giving up. Any Ideas?? I am 20 and ready to hear any answer, just want some ideas at what I am looking at.. I just have a gut instinct that something is going to happen soon so maybe somebody has seen these symtoms before.
Her throat does seem swollen but she won’t let anyone look inside. We have tried every means of getting her to see someone she just won’t and if you push it to much she’ll start acting like nothing is wrong yet you can see very obviously there is. Also she has had an increase in bone pains if that means anything??

Is there a visible lump on her throat? Your Mom should have it checked out by an Ear, Nose & Throat Doctor ASAP. It may or may not be something to be concerned with, but it should be looked at by a doctor. I was diagnosed w/ stage 4 cancer of the hypo pharynx. (it was where the esophagus meets the throat). I’m no Doctor, but I am a survivor! GET HER TO A DOCTOR TOMORROW!

Question by stoppdemadness2003: I’m getting that surgery to help stop snoring and sleep apnea, how long does it take to heal?
Is it painfil for days after? When do they remove the packing?

Answer by grannywalnuts
I didn’t have the surgery, but an old boss did and it took about 3-4 months before his face looked normal again. He said it hurt, but he was given something for the pain and it was only painful the first week.

Do what my grandma did. Everytime her hubby snored she poke him with a pin. Did it to all us kids to. Cures bed hogging and kicking to.
