Thanks; I will update as things go forward. I have viewed several times a YouTube vid of a study presentation before a Thoracic Physician group where a researcher assessed patient survival data for Stage 2 and 3 Esophageal cancer patients who underwent surgery or who declined. He concluded that those opting against surgical resolution had a 20% shorter survivor time than patients who declined. He was accompanied by a Mayo Clinic senior physician who commented on the quality vs. quantity aspects of patient survival criteria. There clearly is much food for thought in this issue.
