Overview
There have been numerous reports in the media that Dolly Parton has undergone surgery to reduce her risk of esophageal cancer.
Parton reportedly has had problems with acid reflux for years which has recently worsened, causing her to lose twenty pounds. A source told the National Enquirer "Dolly knew something had to be done or she could die. Her weight was dropping dramatically, she was chugging antacid medication, and she couldn't eat anything but soft, bland foods."
Acid reflux allows stomach acid to enter the esophagus where it can, over time, cause changes to the cells in the lining with the possibility of the development of cancer. Parton reportedly was also concerned it could hurt her singing voice.
