I am not picky, any one of these would work.

I want my dad to survive cancer.

As we speak, he is getting 2/3 of his esophagus and 1/3 of his stomach removed. He's got cancer from acid reflux. :sad:

He'll be 53 on November 4th.

This is going to sound so odd, but try it. When you feel the acid in your throat swallow a bit of vinegar. Trust me.. it works! Somehow the acid in the vinegar counteracts (quickly) the acid in your throat/stomach. Tastes nasty though!

Thanks for the tip, I am taking the Prilosac, that seems to help, but sometimes it comes through regardless. I will give it a shot. :2thumbs:

Give up coffee and soda too. These are killers if you have reflux. Such a healthy, active man like you should not have any problems if you do the vinegar and give up those 2 things.

I hope you get your wish. My wife's mother passed away in 1986, and her first husband died in 1992. Abby's laconic assessment is simply, "cancer is evil."

My Christmas wish is that Abby's doctor can get a handle on her arthritis so she can hike with me and enjoy Utah more.

Well Sh*t.

They cut him open, looked inside. They cancelled surgery. His liver is in too bad of shape. Cirrhosis. A healthy liver is essential for recovery. Plus his slpeen is enlarged. The surgery was already risky, because his right coronary artery is completely blocked (found in angiogram) and he already had 2-3 heart attacks in his 40s. He is truly the world's most unhealthiest man. Everything I learned NOT to do I learned from him.

I guess chemo is the only option now. My dad didn't want chemo. My sister will update me.

I also have acid reflux very badly, since I was 23. I am very active and healthy and I rarely eat anything on the "bad list." I am on Protonix for the rest of my life. My heartburn is at 3-4 am usually, so my morning cup of coffee does not affect it since the events are nearly 22 hours apart.

If anyone has acid reflux, this is not something you let go untreated. Seriously. It's not like headaches. This can cause real damage. 5 years ago my dad had a scope and was on Nexium. They said he was all "healed up" (had a precancerous stage call Barrett's). So he went without a scope for 5 years and look what happened.

He drank a solution of water and baking soda for many years, thinking it would neutralize the acids. It may have provided relief but the acid was still splashing all over his esophagus.

Go see a doc if you have it more than 2x a week folks and H2 blockers like Zantac and Pepcid don't work.

There are different forms of acid reflux. I've gone through the Docs office and basically he told me either Provacid or Prilosac are here to stay for the rest of my life.

My dad though developed an ulcer because of it, so ya got to get it checked before it gets out of hand.
