Just posting a cautiously positive update. My husband finished his chemo/radiation June 7th and had a rough time afterwards. Jeff has been able to eat a much greater variety of foods over the past week. The esophagitis is resolving thankfully. His weight has been stable, albeit low, but he's getting stronger in every way each day. I'm anxious about the first CT scan Monday, although I think it will be fine because it didn't detect any problems when he was rediagnosed in February. Gastro appt and rad onc visits Wednesday. Endoscopy 8-10 weeks after treatment ended.

We're going away to the beach in RI for a few days the last week of July. It's only about 45 mins away from home so we don't need to worry about anything if Jeff had any problems. I can't wait to relax. So that's it, that's where we're at. The healing time they told us about has been right on schedule. I'm so happy he's able to eat again. I hope all of you are doing well ❤️

Hi Lynn
My dad was diagnosed a few weeks ago and we are on 2 chemo and getting ready to start radiation soon. I was curious how your husband is doing and if he had surgrey to remove the part of his esophagus or if the chemo took care of it?
