@jimbon hello i hope this gets to you its my first time using the site. I'm so scared. my brother had chemo for 8 weeks, a 3 week rest and in a few days (on feb 3, 2026) he will have the Esophagectomy. it will be done in montreal. he's going to have chemo after too. he said, the tumors close to his stomach. it may seem odd but I havent asked what stage but i think must be 2-3 because of needing chemo before and after. i decided not to ask because I dont want to here 4. i was confused bybyour post... did you say surgery xmas 2024 and then a temor stayed, everyone said surgery but chemo and radiation treated it. I'm so sorry you are suffering. it was brave of you to have the surgery... but is this what will happen to my brother will he have his own private hell. are there days that you dont feel sick. bless you.
