Esophagectomy: What is life like Afterwards?

I probably don't have much to say other than hang in there. My husband was diagnosed with Stage 2 in March. He finished chemo and radiation about 5 weeks ago. He has a J tube. He has adjusted to that. One week ago he started eating small amounts of soft foods. Since he is very frail and had lots of problems with chemo disrupting his other medical conditions, the surgeon does not feel surgery would be safe for him. So anyway-PET scan this week. Cancer sucks. Immunotherapy in near future.

I also have Stage 2 esophageal cancer and will discuss treatment plans with my oncological team next Thursday. Feeling lots of things about the surgery. Any input for me?
