Hello! My grandpa had esophageal cancer had has undergone a surgery one year back but we did not do the chemotherapy as her age is 65 above. Now she experiences loss of appetite, vomiting, regurgitation, indigestion, weakness. Doctor said that some part of her digestive tract has swollen up so are there any chances of growth of cancer cells once again?

Yes there are chances of cancer recurring. The chances depend on your stage of cancer and the type of surgery. But the present symptoms may not be cancer always. She needs to be evaluated for the cause of her symptoms and treat her accordingly.
