Hi Colleen, thanks for checking in. The treatment plan for radiation should be back by the middle of next week. We see the oncologist Friday and chemo will start Tuesday the 30th. I'm thinking maybe they'd start radiation on Monday the 29th but don't know for sure. The plan is for 28 days of radiation.

I'm okay. I had surgery in the middle of March and have been out on FMLA from my job, going back the 29th. I'm grateful to have been able to go to all the appts and to just be around in general for these past weeks. We found out about the recurrence just a couple days after finding out I needed surgery. It's been overwhelming, but we're getting through things as they come. I wish we could've gotten through at least one week of his treatment before I go back to work but it just didn't work out that way.

So grateful to have found this forum. Appreciate you reaching out.

So... this recurrence was seen in his stomaphagus... in a portion of the original esophagus still in use... above the anastomosis? Nothing seen in lymph nodes or organs? What type radiation will be used?
