It's very unusual for someone with oesophageal cancer to be "mobidly obese".
Weight loss is almost universal in symptomatic patients. She's much more
likely to be suffering reflux oesophagitis.
Is cancer possible? Yes. Is it likely? No

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated.
It has helped greatly.
