Yes... once stage 4, getting to surgery is more difficult... but not impossible. So first things first... go after the spread... get it handled. Do I know some stage 4's who have come back to have their esophagectomies... Yes! But we all have to see how treatments go... and can we get there! Hang tough.

My husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer 2 years ago. He went through the chemo and strong radiation. 10 days before his surgery, it was decided to cancel the surgery as his tumor was gone. He then went on immunotherapy for a year. He remains cancer free today. We are so thankful that he did not have the life changing surgery. If the cancer returns, we will deal with what that decision when it happens. Stay strong and found comfort and strength through prayer!
