I too Lori-had my esophagectomy @ Mayo In Rochester April of 2019 with Dr. Robert Shen. Previously, I had 5 days a week of proton radiation for 5 weeks and once a week for 5 weeks of chemo. I was staged @ 2, but Dr. Shen said when one lymph node was involved, it is stage 3.
I lost about 30lbs and have maintained a consistent weight of around 118. I eat most anything I want and frequently but simple carbs only my friend in small amounts after a protein and a vegetable. I feel good, walk daily, do online yoga and Silver Sneakers now this winter and golf in season.
