Esophagectomy, why? Or why not?

All these facts are great..Being alive is great. I know personally if I had it to do again I definitely wouldn’t have the surgery. The pain from surgery I live with every day has diminished my quality of life to the point where I would quit if it wasn’t for my kids

These are tough decisions. Back in 2019 when I was diagnosed, I was wavering on what I was going to do regarding treatments, etc. My Son finally made my mind up for me when he said “Dad, are you going to fight this like the Man we know you are, or do we have to needlessly watch you die”. I fought like hell. Celebrating 7 years cancer free in June. It hasn’t been easy, but every time I hug my new Grandson, or kiss my new wife, I realize it was worth it.
