My Dad had an esophogectomy as well as chemo and radiation. He did very well with chemo and radiation.
Then they removed his esophagus and created a new one using part of his stomach. I dont know what is typical, but he had to eat small meals throughout the day and sleep on an incline to keep stomach contents in his stomach. Your doctor should be able to tell you more. Hope this helps. Praying for you both.
