Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Sorry to learn about the diagnosis of esophagus and stomach cancer in your husband. It is very difficult and may not be possible to advise treatment on such issue without seeing the patient personally, and without going through the investigation reports including that of the biopsy. However, one can go for some proton pump inhibitor drugs, some probiotics, and some kind of antacid gel to relieve him symptomatically of his esophageal symptoms,and also get the head end of his bed elevated to aid in this. Further management has to be discussed with the treating doctor of your husband.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your husband's problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
