Ok Luis... I have no clue what your big event is in September... I'll assume family celebration of some sort. But remember... there is always risk... and even your oncologist has no clue what's going on inside you while you wait. Hopefully your existing EC stays a bit depressed and "dormant"... and no spread takes place the next 3 months. But it is your life were talking about here... and dealing with EC is about doing things in order... to give us our best shot. Could you fly 2 to 3 months after an esophagectomy... well yes... as you'd be recovered from your surgical wounds by then... off any pain meds for sure. But you'd just be starting on your post-op journey... and eating, tummy aches, intestinal discomfort, ass explosions... will all be normal. But hey... toilets always available on long flights. But weight loss, hydration, possibly tube feeding post-op... all are possible. I was playing some golf 2 months post-op.

Ok... so a little roll of the dice on your part, that things will stay the same... but stay active, keep your heart and lungs in good shape, and fatten up all you can til September. Because more weight loss is coming your way. That's a guarantee.

Be well.

Thank you, maybe we’ll play a round one day. May I ask your age? Oh , the event, I’m walking my daughter down the aisle.
