Hi, Thanks for writing in to us. Your mother requires close treatment keeping in mind possible cancer in esophagus (food pipe) and liver. Cancer spread is difficult to treat and unfortunately spread of cancer to liver and esophagus can have a survival of 2 years with recommended treatment and supportive care. Please give your mother nutritious soft diet which is rich in protein. It is important to know how much of the esophageal lumen is occluded. In this case please try to give her semi solids which can be digested easily. Foods which are good for her includes porridge, kheer, dal which is not spicy, soft fruits mashed, boiled potatoes and eggs if she can swallow. Also give vitamin supplements and lots of fluids and fresh juices to keep her hydrated. Avoid giving spicy food which might get stuck in her throat and cause choking and always feed in sitting posture. Please do not worry.
