Anyone know anything about tylosis or esophageal cancer?

Has anyone had these? What are the symtoms? What about acid reflux symptoms? My chest feels like someone is sitting on me and has felt that way for three days. HELP!

Take a look at the site below which explains many misunderstood things about the cancer industry, and has some natural cures too.

You ask too many questions that require long answers.

Tylosis is the formation of a callus. No big deal. Are you certain this is what you meant?

Esohageal cancer is associated with heavy drinking, smoking (especially smoking and drinking together), achalasia, Plummer-Vinson syndrome and Barrett's esophagus. No symptoms in the early stages but in later stages there's painful dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), anorexia (loss of appetite), weight loss, regurgitation (vomiting), swollen, painful neck glands and sometimes a persistent cough. Left vocal paralysis and hemoptysis (coughing up blood) suggest an advanced stage. This form of cancer metastisizes quickly and has a poor prognosis.

GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux disease) is a backflow (reflux) of stomach contents back into the esophagus. The gastric juices in the contents are highly acidic and burn. Chronic episodes can cause esophagitis, stricture, erosion and subsequent ulceration, Candidiasis (yeast infection), esophageal varices (varicose veins), esophageal bleeds, and esophageal cancer.

What you are describing, the feeling that someone is sitting on your chest, is atypical of a callus formation(tylosis) or of GERD. It's not necessarily an MI (myocardial infarction -- heart attack) either. I strongly recommend that you see your health care provider for further evaluation. And don't delay.

As an esophageal cancer survivor I know more about my disease than some medical professionals do.
Mine was from 20 years of thinking Rolaids was a food group and suffering from heart burn for that time. Heartburn is now politically correctly called GERD or acid reflux.
EC is still considered a rare cancer - approx 14000 people will be diagnosed in the US in a year. Of this number over 11000 will die so if you think you may have EC see your doctor right away. DEMAND a gastroscope and tell your doctor why. I was lucky - mine was caught in early stages and in 2 weeks I will be a 2 year survivor. Going in, my odds were less than 10 percent I would live this long bu I have and I plan on living a long time.

There are 2 types of EC. Adenocarcinoma and squamous cell. Adeno is associated with Barrett's Esophagus and GERD whereas Squamous is associated with smoking and drinking factors.
