Man diagnosed with esophageal can:cer reveals the first sign he noticed, but doctors ignored

A subtle but troubling sign

At first, it was barely noticeable: swallowing felt a little awkward. Mark brushed it off, assuming it was nothing more than acid reflux or a mild throat irritation. A sip of water usually eased the sensation.

But within two months, the discomfort grew worse. Even soft foods became difficult to eat, and meals that once brought joy now filled him with dread. Realizing it wasn’t going away, Mark sought medical advice.
