Sending our best to you and your family. My husband is recovering from the (major) surgery of the esophodectemy, after five chemo and immunotherapy sessions, with three more scheduled after recovery from surgery. Thank you for posting, as I now can beware of potential cardiac issues going forward. Many blessings to you.

Just so you know, we have twice-weekly free Zoom calls since May 2021. We have EC patients and caregivers from all over America and the world on our calls. Pop on if you'd like... our calls never change. They are as follows:

Sundays, 9am Eastern
Wednesdays, 6pm Eastern

The post-op journey can be a bit depressing since changes and improvements come along at a glacial pace! My esophagectomy was in July 2020... but we have some going back 15 to 25 years.

This Sunday is unusual in that we have a special guest joining us. Her name is Dr. Shanda Blackmon and she is a world renowned thoracic surgeon. And I'll tell you... she's something special! In fact, she used to be with Mayo Rochester (now with Baylor in Houston) and I've run into quite a few of her former patients. Let me know if you might like to join our Zoom calls, and I'll send you a one-touch link. Be well.
