Hello
I'm new to this rodeo too (port installed yesterday, first radiation therapy today, first chemo tomorrow), but may I suggest these two youtube channels:

Do a youtube search for Esophagectomy- My Journey
and
Al van der Beek

I tried including the links but broke the rules with my first post. Heh.

The first channel documents the highs/lows of chemo/radiation from day one through completion of the course for SCC throat cancer, and the second channel does the same with a blow-by-blow account of having an esophagectamy and living with it afterwards.

Both have helped me prepare and steel myself for what's coming. Maybe they'll help you as well.

Best of luck,
