@manuelo hello. may i ask how old you are. my brother will have the Esophagectomy feb 3, 2026. he's 69. i'm so scared. he also has had prostate cancer since 2012 but it was being managed. when he told me he had EC He said, he'll have chemo and then surgery to take the tumor out, then another round of chem. i didnt understand how complex it was to get an EC tumor out. i thought it was like breast cancer. i had no idea it was such a high risk surgery, that things were going to be rerouted and how significantly it can change your life. i'm glad i found this site. thank you for sharing you're doing well (and may you always 💞) it was a great comfort to read it
