he has taken prilosec and similar stuff for over 20 yrs. He did admit that a lot of his problem is that he eats and then lays down. He has done that for over 20 yrs too. I'm supposed to pick up some patches for the nausea. They suggested he use the numbing stuff and/or Tylenol for the pain of swallowing since he won't take pain meds prescribed and try to start swallowing more than water.

Dec 18th is his PET scan. Dec 20th is the follow up with the oncologist and radiologist. I've got to call to find out when the appt with ENT is scheduled.

Other than nutrition, there are no other plans in place other than follow up every so many months.
