I also have Stage 2 esophageal cancer and will discuss treatment plans with my oncological team next Thursday. Feeling lots of things about the surgery. Any input for me?

Some input that might be useful to you - of course, there are so many variables in the decision making - whether to have the surgery or not - like age, comorbidities, general health, support, etc.

I suggest you sign up at a website called "Smart Patients" for the esophageal cancer forum.
It is a very active website with people at all stages.
