Suggest Treatment Esophagus Cancer

My father aged 74 years has been suffering from esophagus cancer since past 3 months and on ayurvedic treatment from the beginning. Not taking anything due to low apetite and today his there is swelling in his red eyelid. Is there any relation between this swelling and cancer? He lost nearly 10 kgs in these 3 months.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Cancer is a difficult condition to treat and it is best to follow standard treatment practices for esophagus cancer. Ayurvedic treatment might not work always with cancer as it can spread fast. As there is weight loss in last 3 months, it appears that cancer is spreading and causing his body to become weak.

The swelling in eyelid might be due to fluid retention in the body which is due to cancer. Please take him to a cancer treatment center immediately and get him treated for his general condition. Get his complete blood investigation done and provide nutritious diet. Cancer patients can survive for a long time if early treatment is given. Please do not worry.
