Did your surgeon perform an endoscopy to determine if the tumor could be removed via an endoscopic procedure? Mayo Clinic did one for, but unfortunately my tumor was Stage 3 so I had the Ivor-Lewis esophogectomy.

@lionsfan they will be removing part of the lower esophagus and his stomach. The will stretch and connect so food can flow. It’s I believe gastric bypass surgery. Stage 2, but the risk are high of complications. My dad doesn’t want to do it. Now we are sure what to do?
