@mawmaws The radiologist I saw said he wants to see how I do with the medication first. He felt that most of my pain was more of a side effect from my drugs than the cancer. Moreover, the potential of damage to my esophagus was not worth doing radiation at this time.

@mawmaws, did you start radiation to your spine? Did you share your concerns about its possible effects to the esophagus and heart?
