@linda2007 how did your surgery go? My husband had his esophagectomy on 7/29 and they couldn’t get clear margins after 3 resections. He still has microscopic cancer cells in his esophagus. They moved his G-Tube to a J-tube and he’s just now introducing clear liquids. He’s recovering fine but it’s a slow process for sure!
I’m hoping his next round of treatments are a little less impactful. Last round was pretty hard on him.

My surgery is scheduled for September 13th. I finished my treatments (chemo and radiation). Had to wait 8 weeks for a PET scan and the results came back showing no cancer was detected. I have already done pre-ops. Now just waiting for surgery. Wishing your husband a speedy recovery.
