I apologize in advance for the length of this post, but feel if all the steps and details are included, it might better aid me in getting knowledgeable, experienced advice, which I desperately need asap.

Last spring, after switching to a wheat/grain free diet for a few months, I began having constant constipation, then esophageal spasms. Feeling that the constipation was possibly from diet, I added more veggies and water, to no avail; and the spasms possibly from a hiatal hernia diagnosed years before, had chiropractic adjustments, which seemed to help temporarily.

I then noticed occasionally, when I ate, I felt full after only 2 or 3 bites. Most times I ate a full meal with no problems. The "early full" feeling started coming more frequently and after a couple of months, I had lost about 20 pounds. The constipation continued, along with constant gas, pain and discomfort in stomach and intestinal area and occasional nausea, and low appetite.

Although I had pretty much written off conventional doctors because they had failed me miserably in the past, I resorted to having some testing done to try to get to the bottom of this. A gallbladder US (normal) and a barium swallow (showing an esophageal restriction where a swallowed pill couldn't even pass through) were performed. Next, a CT scan, showing a " mass under the liver" which they felt was harmless but suggested a biopsy...also an endoscopy to check the restriction. I had these performed, biopsies showed adenocarcinoma in esophagus and mass under liver.

I was immediately referred to an oncologist who ordered a PET scan, which showed the cancer present in esophagus, and just around the very outside edges of mass (which they decided was a lump of lymph nodes that had conglomerated there).

After much thought, researching survival statistics, etc. concerning the treatments of radiation and chemo which were offered me, and considering my weakened state, ( I had lost around 40 pounds by this time and surviving on soup broths, Boost, and any other soft, liquid foods I could get down), I opted to travel to Mexico to be evaluated for the Hoxsey treatment. I have been attempting this treatment for a few weeks now, which consists of the tonic, and a few herb capsules taken several times a day, with food. They told me juices, soups, etc qualify as food, so figured I could do this. But I'm having an awful time, as I have no appetite and have to force myself to take in pretty much anything. I cannot swallow the pills, and have tried opening them and mixing with things, but the awful bitterness of them send me to the bathroom retching. Although I am managing the tonic a few times a day.

To date, I've lost about 70 lbs., basically bones with skin hanging off them. I'm very weak, constant stomach pain, "trapped" gas, feel painfully stuffed after a few bites of anything, constipated 95% of the time, constant mucus building in mouth and throat (feel like I'm foaming at the mouth all the time, drives me nuts) the mucus triggers my gag, and I throw up almost daily, but at least that helps me get rid of some of it. My stomach muscles feel almost non existent, no help in bm's, coughing, or even blowing my nose! I feel my digestive system is completely out of whack and I don't know how to turn it around. I'm hoping someone will have some first or second-hand experience with a situation at least similar to mine and be able to give me some knowledgable advice. I would be very grateful.
