Thank you for the tip to look up Life Raft. I was diagnosed with an esophageal GIST and met with a surgeon this week. The recommendation is an esophagectomy. I’m blown away. This was an incidental finding from my stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis, which was also an incidental finding. Good grief! Looking forward to hearing from this community.

@mimicmckay, what a gut punch to find a second primary cancer as an incidental finding. When will you have surgery?
