My initial treatment was in Germany but the remaining treatment and follow up continued at the University Hospitals in Iowa City, Iowa. I cannot say enough good things about my doctors and all the follow-up that I've had since. I will see the head of my "tumor team" again in a couple of weeks. Thankfully I'm only about an hour and twenty minutes away. When I chose UIH it was because it was ranked very high (second in the nation) for ENT and it was close to home. The oncologists in Germany communicated with an oncologist in the city where I live who referred me to UIH. With all the decreased attention to health care by politicians I am hoping UIH will be able to continue it's superb care.

My esophageal cancer was successfully treated with radiation and chemo in January. However, the common aftermath of scar tissue continues to torment me and I go in for endoscopies every 6 weeks or so. Is there a contact at UIHthat my gastroenterologist can refer me to for an evaluation? We live on the west coast, but our family in is DesMoines, so it would be feasibile to travel there. Thanks!
