Should i get an esophagectomy?

This makes me feel a little better. My husband just had his first scan post 4 rounds of Flot and it’s showing a great deal of shrinkage of the mass and no metastasis. We have an appointment with the surgeon next Monday and are nervous now. I know this is a major surgery and it’s scary, but it is what it is at this point. I’m just hoping and praying the next step goes well!

Wonderful! I am very happy for your husband and yourself, every bit of good news is welcome!
FYI. The Mayo initially teamed me up with a surgeon that was not Minimally invasive / robotic certified. Please verify this with your surgeon.
I opted for the very best and searched out Dr. Blackmon who is world renown.
My greatest prayers and wishes!

My husband just completed his four rounds of chemo. He will start radiation/chemo July 14 and then headed towards the surgery. I totally understand why you’re nervous and scared but, I look at it this way we try to look at each segment and focus only on that to get through it. it’s unknown always in the beginning but once you’re in it, you just take one day at a time and keep working through it. We found this helpful instead of anticipating best of luck to you and your family, here’s to living in the moment.
