Chemo Halts Growth of Lou Koller’s Esophageal Tumors After Cancer’s Return

The Sick Of It All frontman remains on a feeding tube with additional chemotherapy planned.

Overview

  • Pete Koller said his brother has completed two chemotherapy sessions that stopped tumor growth, though the tumors have not shrunk, with four to six more treatments expected.
  • Tumor locations on the stomach sac and near the intestines mean surgery is not an option, making chemotherapy the primary treatment.
  • Lou Koller has experienced severe weight loss from roughly 190 pounds to about 119 pounds and now relies on a feeding tube for nutrition and hydration.
  • He is staying at his brother Matt’s home, where Matt and his wife Connie provide round-the-clock care and manage feeding and fluids.
  • A February 1 benefit at Lucky 13 Saloon in Brooklyn will raise money for his Sweet Relief fund, with online tickets sold out and a limited number available at the door.
