Ouch. From what I’ve read, esophageal cancer can be a very tough one to beat. A lot probably depends on how early they detect it, of course.
Hitchens and his ilk like Bill Maher have become impossible human beings to be around. I don’t wish cancer on anyone really...it’s horrible.
Hitchens better come to grips with our great Watchmaker in the sky or he’s gonna have bigger problems than cancer at the end of the day.
He’s lucky they’re doing chemo. I’ve heard of cases of esophageal cancer where they do radiation and the radiation kills all the tastebuds temporarily. One patient I saw described said all his food tasted like bile for the entire rad course and months after.
