Hi everyone,  I’m a 60 yr old retired female. 

I was diagnosed over 10 years ago with severe gastric reflux and take regular lanzoperazole. I have a persistent cough and find that I have difficulty swallowing solid food ie meat and vegetables, and sometimes I feel as though food is stuck in my chest, also nausea, sickness and discomfort/pain in my upper back.

I did have a sleeve gastrectomy for weight loss over 5 yrs ago and put these symptoms down to this but am now concerned that this could be symptoms of oesophageal cancer.

OI would be grateful for any advice or suggestions you may have and I apologise if I am wasting anyone’s time.

With thanks
