Hi Shannon
I'm 79 and live in Florida, USA. I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer with tumor in lower section. I went to Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa and they recommended 28 days of chemo and radiation with no surgery. It worked! After 3 treatments the tumor shrunk 30%. At the end the tumor was gone and the surrounding lymph nodes were back to normal. It was challenging with side affects and always feeling tired, but I'm back to normal now, and my wife and I go to the YMCA gym 5 days a week. I'd be happy to answer any questions?

Good news, when did you finish the treatment?
