Hi Chip.
Thank you. I have T2B
Adenocarcinoma carcinoma. It made ot through the wall and affecting 2 known lymph nodes. I have my last scans on July 30. If clear I can then have surgery on the 30th. My oncologist filled me in that with out surgery the cancer will likely metastasize with in 18 months. But surgery has no guarantees either . Metastasizing of the cancer can definitely occur along with ahost of other complications and a poor quality of life. Im still on the wall.. the clock is ticking.

Rick,
I REALLY hope you get the "best" treatment available to you and beat this! As I said I was very lucky mine had NOT gotten into the lymph nodes. Please keep me informed about your choice and how your recovery is going. My best thoughts are with you.
