3 cm mass Esophageal Cancer, what to do now?

@vwinn, wishing you the best. Also in Flagler County. Yesterday, I made the decision to have my surgery at Mayo instead of Advent, luckily I have insurance and have been in the Mayo system for years. With Mayo's reputation I felt it was a no-brainer once things got rolling with the Mayo, which took a while. I originally was going w Advent, due to VA, on 100 and felt comfortable with them and my doctor.

3 months ago, PC Radiology found a 7cm distal mass in my espohagus. Currently have had 4 rounds of FLOT at Freytag, Mayo wants 2 more rounds of chemo before surgery, which is not scheduled yet. Do have Oncology and PET/CT scans ordered.

All the best.

@douglasgb , Hope Mayo can help you. The doctor ordered more tests and is more concerned about his liver from the PET scan. We go back on Thursday to talk with him after the MRI today. Waiting for an appointment for a biopsy as well. That drive to Jacksonville is crazy from Palm Coast.
Hope the best for you at your appointments.
