Hi... my name is Gary and I'm one of those who run the twice-weekly EC Zoom calls. Lynn has been with us for some time. She and Jeff are one helluva team... with such a unique EC journey to date. I too did the CROSS protocol like your mom, of Carboplatin and Taxol with concurrent radiation treatments, in 2020... during Covid. I did go on to esophagectomy in July 2020... and I'm no longer being monitored by my oncologist. He dropped me last August since I was more than 5 years post-op and still NED. I suppose I am now deemed Cured.

If you'd like... let's start with a chat, and I'll tell you what I know and what I've seen since I've talked with about 400 of my fellow EC patients. I don't have an agenda with talking mom into having the surgery... or not having the surgery... that is her decision to make. And if you are at any of the Mayo sites across America... then she will be in good hands. I've talked to probably 25 patients at various Mayo locations.
