Sheila,

Thank you so much for the good tips. I'm afraid it really may be a stricture of the esophagus. Mom practically stopped eating:-( She received her recent infusion on Thursday. The doctor said she looks better (no more constant coughing and asthma-like shortness of breath while speaking are gone) and Pantroprazol should relieve the symptoms. If it doesn't get better this week we will talk to them about the esophagus dilation.

Our next CT scan is in 3 weeks. Halaven sounds great, we'll keep it in mind.

Thank you once again for the useful info.

Kind regards,
belle
