So in April I had the Iver Lewis procedure and at the time a J tube was placed as I was unable to eat due to the surgery.
Just yesterday the J tube was removed and my eating is getting better although I occasionally have some issues swallowing but the food eventually does go down. Just need to eat slower and smaller meals.
Most likely will need to get my esophagus dilated soon.

Glad the J tube is gone and you can eat more. I have scans every 6 months or so and I've had several endoscopies and oblations to remove some precancer cells still showing up in lower esophagus. But the scans are clear and lymph nodes are quiet. The original discovery of my turmor in lower esophagus was due to planned dilation to improve my swallowing. Let us know how the next endoscopy goes?
