Hello All:

I just read an article from Mayo Clinic about a less invasive treatment for esophageal cancer and wanted to share it with you. I think you will find Mike's story very helpful as you consider your own treatment. Here is the link to the article,

My husband is researching EMR after reading Mike's story. Is there any way to connect with Mr. DeGennaro or find out how he's doing now? I know there are privacy issues but we are looking for other options to surgery.

Reading Mike's story was instrumental in my husband looking at other options and getting a second opinion. their situations were almost identical. After six months of research and a couple of EMR (resection) endoscopies, we found a wonderful doctor and he was able to save my husband's esophagus. I wish I could than Mike personally for sharing his story!
